i want to bump up the tire pressure on my civic, but can't remember what the numbers are. does 41 sound right? i know i am going to get an argument from the hubby, but if he doesn't want to do it for me, i will just hit the service station.......

I bet Wayne is going to suggest to go to at least 50psi and not worry....

Start with what ever max psi is on the sidewall of the tire and take it from there.

I'm running 60 in mine all around. The ride is a LOT harsher but the car coasts forever.

I run my Bridgestone B321s at 44 psi all around.

not if you run parallel to what your going to be hitting and avoiding all the pot holes.

I think road choice is important too, I find the 1 or 2 mpg (sometimes just extra time to arrival) is worth it for a smooth road where I don't have to dodge anything. After all when one coasts they should stay in a straight line as much as possible to perserve their precious momentum.

Hi Laurie;

I think if you read this Thread you will find that (55 Lbs.) worked extremely well for my HCH II. :D

About my ride. My drive is about as straight as you can get. Very few turns. At 60lbs you feal evertyhing. That stuff they use to fill in cracks in the pavement is rough. Heck, you can almost feel a dogs hair in the road its that harsh ;)
