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 contact

your Honda dealer.

Inflation Pressures

The tire label on the driver's door

jamb shows recommended tire pres-

sures for carrying loads up to the

limit shown.

These pressures were chosen to

provide you with the best combi-

nation 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, including 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 recommended 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.
