Main Menu Table Of Contents Tires If you check air pressures when the tires are hot [driven for several miles (kilometers)], you will see readings 4 to 6 psi (30 to 40 kPa, 0.3 to 0.4 kgf/cm ) higher than the cold readings. This is normal. Do not let air out to match the recommended cold air pressure. The tire will be underinflated. You should get your own tire pressure gauge and use it whenever you check your tire pressures. This will make it easier for you to tell if a pressure loss is due to a tire problem and not due to a variation between gauges. While tubeless tires have some ability to self-seal if they are punctured, you should look closely for punctures if a tire starts losing pressure. Recommended Tire Pressures The following charts show the recommended cold tire pressures for most normal driving conditions. (DX, Canadian DX-G with automatic transmission) Tire Size P195/65R15 89H Cold Tire Pressure Front/Rear: 30 psi (210 kPa , 2.1 kgf/cm ) (Si) Tire Size P215/45R17 87V Cold Tire Pressure Front/Rear: 33 psi (230 kPa , 2.3 kgf/cm ) Optional for Si Tire Size 215/45ZR17 91W Cold Tire Pressure Front/Rear: 33 psi (230 kPa , 2.3 kgf/cm ) (Canadian DX-G with manual transmission) Tire Size P195/65R15 89S Cold Tire Pressure Front/Rear: 30 psi (210 kPa , 2.1 kgf/cm ) The compact spare tire pressure is: 60 psi (420 kPa , 4.2 kgf/cm ) For convenience, the recommended tire sizes and cold tire pressures are on a label on the driver's doorjamb.
