2008 Honda CR-V recommends 30psi for tire pressure. Got new tires which recommends 40psi for the particular tire. Dealer says will have to give warning unsafe if don’t have at car manufacturer’s recommended pressure. Tire dealer says won’t wear right if not at 40 psi (max for the Firestone Precisi…

Let the tire dealer inflate them to 40 psi, then reduce them to whatever you feel comfortable with when you get home. Personally, I think 30 is too low. I’d probably go about 35 if this were my vehicle. Tell the dealer he is not allowed to put ANYTHING on your car except new tires. His threat is…

The tire dealer is wrong. The value recommended by Honda is the one to use.

Time to find a new tire dealer. It’s the vehicle sticker that determines the appropriate pressure, not a dealer’s number he pulled out of his…hat. Where’d he come up with his 40 psi recommendation? I’m really curious!

[b] Got new tires which recommends 40psi for the particular tire.[/b] Maximum pressure: The tyres have a maximum pressure that they can be safely handle. You want to use. In this case you seem to be suggesting you want to use it at the max listed on the tyre, so as far as the tyres go, that shou…

You refer to “tire dealer” and “dealer”. Are these the same person or is “dealer” the Honda dealer? Did the tire dealer’s recommendation come from a chart that matches your tires to your model vehicle or was it a generic recommendation for the tire only? I would consider the vehicle manufacturer …

The maximum tire pressure shown on the tires I bought is 44psi. Less 5% for inflation from heat is 40psi. It’s the recommended psi for that tire which is the right size for my car.

“It’s the recommended psi” By whom? This 44-5%=40 psi is a new one on me. Where did it come from? (again)

‘Max tire pressure shown on tires…’ This tire fits MANY vehicle. The tire pressure on the sidewall is the highest safe pressure to TIRE was designed to handle. The placard pressure is the RECOMMENDED tire pressure set by the manufacturer based on the weight of the vehicle to achieve the proper co…

I will have to echo what has already been said before…the tire dealer is wrong. The proper pressure for your tires is the pressure listed on your vehicle’s placard. A couple of pounds extra will not hurt but 10psi is overinflation. I would start looking for a new tire dealer. The vehicle mandates the proper air pressure not the tire.
