Do you follow the psi rating from the manual for your tires?

Cause I am having extremely high FC for may 2.0L gas tucson around, 18k/100L, I've checked my tire pressures and have set the tire pressure to the recommended psi rating of 33 but not much change for my FC. So I was thinking of putting more air around 40 psi maybe? since when I got my car from the casa the psi was more or less 40+ psi. Does having higher psi for your tires improve FC?

Definitely higher PSi would improve your FC. Possible din kasi na factor yung driving habits mo at daily route mo kaya ganyan kalakas ang FC mo.

But there's a possibility na mas madaling sumabog ang tires mo kasi over inflated.

And your ride quality will suffer. I got my Tucson (a year ago) in 54PSi. Damn sobrang tagtag

Ngayon palagi lang ako sa 33PSi. Try mo mag 35PSi.

No I don't. I usually use what fits my driving style and what is within my comfort zone for Km/L, with consideration for the tyres' wear and tear; Limited by the max PSI spec of the tyres...

I follow 33 psi as recommended, using nitrogen. Muka pa ngang malambot. Normal naman ang FC ko around 11 to 13 K/L. Mixed City and higway driving.

Yung Civic namin nasa 32PSI ang recommended. I normally fill up to 35PSI kasi gumagaan yung steering and it's easier to keep the car in motion without stepping on the gas pedal.

Not sure I'd go a lot higher than that though.

yup, i follow the recommended 33 psi pressure.. we have the same 2.0L variant but my FC is between 11 to 13.5kms/100 L city driving. Though I do check my tire pressure once every 2 weeks since it usually deflates during this period..Yes tama si SG posible na yung driving habits mo ang factor kaya mataas ang FC mo..Try to limit your RPM between 1500 to 2000 at iwasang humataw...

I do add 2-3 psi lang naman to the reco para much better for fuel mileage by a bit.

Ako sinusunod ko yung nakasulat sa door jamb. 32 sa harap. 30 sa likod. honda jazz.

pero nung saturday (april 16) night, nagpa hangin ako sa petron sa e rodriguez corner t. morato. sabi ko sa attendant 32 sa harap, 30 sa likod. wala silang digital na gauge kaya yung attendant na ang pinahangin ko. di ako marunong e.

after ko magpahangin, napansin ko na parang ibang iba ang takbo. kapapagawa ko pa lang ng suspension kaya sabi ko baka di lang ako sanay.

pagdaan ko sa petron kanina (april 19) nagpahangin ako ng spare tire. pinasabay ko na rin yung harap at likod. nagtataka ako kasi yung lumabas sa digital na gauge nila 52! tinanong ko yung attendant kung may sira yung gauge nila. ok naman daw. pagdating sa kabilang side, 52 pa rin!

so for 2.5 days, sobrang tigas ng gulong ko sa harap. magtatagal pa kaya tong gulong ko?
