Correct tire pressure
I bought my first Honda today. Its a 2019 Honda Civic EX. I checked the tire pressure before test driving it and found all four tires are set to 38 PSI. However, when I open the driver door to see what is the ideal tire pressure it says it should be set to 32 PSI. So my question for the forum is: What is the ideal tire pressure for this year, make, and model? Should I follow the tag inside the door and put all four to 32 PSI or should I leave it at 38 PSI or somewhere in between?

Re: Correct tire pressure
door jamb tag.
they bump pressures for shipping to avoid flat spot tires, should have been adjusted before giving to you
important note that very few understands: Honda does not own the dealers, if the dealer does not do what Honda recommends, it's the dealers' fault. If you want to complain, complain with the dealer.

i set mine at 35 and call it a day. Dealer penciled in the PDI part of tire pressures for mine, and when I got it home, all 4 tires were reading 55psi.

my tires were over 40 PSI when i picked up my 2018 civic,
i go by the sticker in the drivers door which is 32 PSI cold,
i check my tires in the morning after the vehicle has been sitting overnight

Re: Correct tire pressure
Omg, lol. This is like one of my top annoying conversations with customers.
Me: "And if you could just open the door so I can check the tire pressure spec."
Random: "Isn't the spec listed on the tire."
Me: "No, that's the maximum safe listing before the tire wont grip the round safely; and these tires can be used on vehicles with different weights."
Random: "Oh... I went higher just in case."
Me: checks pressure, sees 80psi! Lol
