So Eyes, you think you know more than the OEMs about what pressure to put in the tires they designed for the car? It's not like they designed and built the entire thing (I don't mean to rip on you, but it's true).

If the tires are stock equivalent, then use the door jam pressure. That's what Honda meant it to have in it, so it would be stupid not to follow it.

Remember tire pressures change a good deal during driving. 40 psi cold will change to 47 psi or so once the tire heats up. Now you have shortened the life of the tire.

My dad puts 100 miles a day on his car (nearly all highway). He never uses any pressure but what Toyota reccomends for his Matrix. And his tires last just as long as they are meant to (60,000 for his last set).
