Pardon me for posting this on the wrong thread, but I went to the tire one and saw only four old questions... so I figured people barely look in there. Anyway, about a few months ago I change the tires & wheels on my 03 Honda Accord LX 2.4, with the wheels that come with the 07 accord, the 205/60/R16 92v. I forgot what the tire pressure needs to be these tires. I need to check the air, because one of them seems lower now, and I don't know what PSI they're suppose to be on. Or what you recommend them to be on, because my ride feels really hard when I'm driving, and every time I land of holes, I can really feel it.

 

it should tell you on the tire what you need to put in it. Some people like to put a little less but you should never put to much more than what is recommended on the tire.

 

He's got your answer for you above this..You go by what the tire says on the sidewall..

On the inside door panel of the drivers door of my son's 2007 Accord 4-dr V6, is a placard that tells you what the pressure is supposed to be on the front, rear and spare tire. It says it should be 29psi on rear and 32psi on the front. The tires themselves say max pressure of 50psi.
Now... if you only put 29psi in the rear tires they look FLAT. 32psi on the front doesn't look any better. So what do you go by? He's running 215/50R17 tires.

 

Actually, the correct and only correct way of inflating a tire is by the manufactures specs either on the drivers side door or the manual. The PSI on the sidewall of a tire throws way to many people off. That rating is only for the tire itself. That doesnt take into consideration how heavy your car is. There is a reason they put those PSI ratings on your car. Weight distribution to tire wear by certain PSI has been tested for alot of hours by engineers and you should take advantage of that information to get the most life out of your tires.

Ignore the sidewall.

 

Tire pressure placard in the car, is for the stock-size tires. It can be different when you put on other sizes.

Unfortunately it's not a real simple rule how to choose pressure for the alternate tire size. If it's a size that's offered as stock in some other version of the Accord, then you might find the information in the owner's manual.

Still, it's not the tire sidewall pressure.
