what's the recommended tire pressure for 195 55 R15 honda city '04? nagulat kasi ako nung nagpacheck ako last night, nasa 40 psi lahat ng gulong. pinabawasan ko muna to 30 lahat. ok na ba 30 for my car? do i need to increase/decrease para maiwasan yung tire noise.

kung single load ka lang, you can go well at around 28 psi.... medyo matagtag ka na at 30 psi, but kung parating loaded sasakyan mo, eto talaga ang recommended tire pressure.

UPDATE: replaced all 4 tires earlier and the humming from the front is 90% eliminated. although meron pa rin syang slight hum pero di gaano audible like before. tire related nga.

You may want to consider adding undercoating to your wheel wells to increase insulation from the road/tire noise. From my previous ownership of a Civic EK and Civic ES, i've noticed that Hondas seem to have minimal insulation and it's evident when i switch cars.

pano yung undercoating sir? pwedeng DIY to?

Pwede naman as there are undercoating bottles sold off-the-shelf. I'd recommend having it done by a service station/shop though as they will have to clean the wheel wells first to ensure there's no dirt and moisture trapped when they apply the undercoat and it will be done on a lifter with your wheels and some panels removed. Good to have it done now as well while the weather is hot so the undercoating tar will cure faster.

I have a similar problem. I had my wheels balanced and aligned and it turns out that my wheel bearings are due for replacement. It's a long process that will take a day though so I've put it off to next week.

sir nilagay ba sa lifter ung car mo then piaikot ung wheels at detected na me tunog? Nung una kasi ang advise din sa akin ng mechanic wheel bearing, nag palit ako ng mechanic at inulit ung pag test sa lifter, ang final result ung tyres ko ang maingay, palit ako ng 4 tyres nawala ung ingay

+1. ganito nangyari sakin. palit lahat ng wheel bearing pero it turned out tyres pala. replaced all 4, problem solved.

I just changed my tyres as I thought they might be the culprit. The thing is, the noise got louder so I decided to have it checked. I had two mechanics from different garages check it and they both confirmed that it's the wheel bearings. I can't wait to get it fixed. I can't listen to music with that annoying sound while driving.

[K.I.L.L.]

I got my car back and it is now running quietly. The culprit was really worn out wheel bearings. Each front bearing cost me P2,700 so total including labour was P8,400. Whew! I can now listen to my music once again.
