Tires
The factory installed tires on your car were selected to match
the car's performance capabilities and to provide the best
combination of handling, ride comfort and tread wear. We
recommend that you get the same size, type, and grade of
tires when replacement is necessary. If your tires have an all-
season tread design, the model name will be followed by the
marking: "M + S" (mud and snow) or "all-season".
If you decide not to get the same brand of tires as those
originally installed, you should make sure that the
replacements are the radial type, of the same size, load range
and speed rating as the original tires.
If you have any questions about your car's tires, please con-
tact your Honda dealer.
Inflation Pressures
The tire label on the driver's
door jamb shows recommend-
ed tire pressures for carrying
loads up to the limit shown.
These pressures were chosen
to provide you with the best
combination of tread life, riding
comfort and stability under
normal driving conditions.
Improper inflation can reduce both tire life and load carrying
capacity. Check the tire pressures at least once a month, in-
cluding the spare.
Lower pressure than recommended lets the tread and
sidewalls flex too much, causing increased tire temperatures,
uneven wear, and poor handling. Pressure higher than recom-
mended can make the tire too stiff, increasing the chance of
damage from road hazards, and also causing uneven wear.
CAUTION:
Check tire pressure when the tires are cold.
(After the car has been parked for more than 3 hours or
driven less than 1 mile/1.6 km).
Tire pressure may increase as much as 41 kPa (6 psi) when
the tire is hot, so NEVER ADJUST tire pressure when the
tires are hot.
Never inflate load range B tires to more than 220 kPa (32
psi) cold.
Cars with luggage racks or cartop carriers DO NOT have
greater load limits than those on the label.
