December 21st, 2008 02:54 AM #13I have a 97 Civic Lxi and I usually put 30 Psi on both front and rear tires. But, I do recommend Nitrogen gas, giving durability and strong heat resistance to your tires. Though, it's quite expensive than an ordinary air, but it helps consume less fuel - guaranteed.

35psi compressed air cold tire pressure is high for me, imagine running long distance and high speed and tires are not new anymore.. risky.
safer cold pressure 30psi. Nitrogen is the way to maintain pressure even high tire temperature.

Question to those who use 17"/18" rims + low profile tires. How do you set the correct tire pressure? Does anyone know the recommended tire pressure for this? I believe recommended pressure indicated in the pillar isn't applicable anymore.

With tires, it's ok to have 1-2 PSI too many rather than too few. Tires are manufactured in such a way that they have more margin for safety when overfilled.
Under-pressured tires has a tendency to overheat. That leads to accelerated tread wear and a higher likelihood for the steel belts inside to collapse and break if you drive through potholes a bit too fast.
Be careful with channels like "China Observer" on YouTube. There is a clear bias in their posts and...
