Tire Pressure Adjustment For
High Speed Driving
Honda strongly recommends that
you not drive faster than posted
speed limits and conditions allow. If
you decide it is safe to drive at high
speeds, be sure to adjust the cold tire
pressures as shown below. If you do
not adjust the tire pressure, exces-
sive heat can build up and cause
sudden tire failure.

Be sure to readjust the pressure for
normal driving speeds. You should
wait until the tires are cold before
adjusting the tire pressure (see page
154 ).

DOT Tire Quality Grading

The tires on your car meet all U.S.
Federal Safety Requirements. All
tires are also graded for treadwear,
traction, and temperature perform-
ance according to Department of
Transportation (DOT) standards.
The following explains these
gradings.
