Main Menu Table Of Contents Tires Recommended Tire Pressures The following charts show the recommended cold tire pressures for most normal and high-speed driving conditions. Front: Tire Size 215/45R17 87W Cold Tire Pressure 32 psi (220 kPa , 2.2 kgf/cm ) For convenience, the recommended cold air pressures and tire sizes are on a label on the driver's doorjamb. For additional information about your tires, see page 238 . Tire Inspection Every time you check inflation, you should also examine the tires for damage, foreign objects, and wear. You should look for: Bumps or bulges in the tread or side of the tire. Replace the tire if you find either of these conditions. Cuts, splits, or cracks in the side of the tire. Replace the tire if you can see fabric or cord. Excessive tread wear. TREAD WEAR INDICATORS Rear: Except CR models Tire Size 245/40R17 91W Cold Tire Pressure 32 psi (220 kPa , 2.2 kgf/cm ) INDICATOR LOCATION MARKS CR models Tire Size 255/40R17 94W Cold Tire Pressure 32 psi (220 kPa , 2.2 kgf/cm ) Your tires have wear indicators molded into the tread. When the tread wears down, you will see a 1/2 inch (12.7 mm) wide band across the tread. This shows there is less than 1/16 inch (1.6 mm) of tread left on the tire. A tire this worn gives very little traction on wet roads. You should replace the tire if you can see three or more tread wear indicators. Except CR models The compact spare tire pressure is: 60 psi (420 kPa , 4.2 kgf/cm ) 190 2008 S2000
