Greetings:

If you're looking for bragging rights on top speed, use the maximum pressure printed on your tires - uh, sorry - Tyres' - sidewalls. If you're after grip, go softer. Honda uses something in the 20s for PSI but it's been too long. Should be in the Owner's Manual.

I run all of my tires at the max pressure on the sidewall. Even on my van. Never had a problem and find I get the best wear and handling. I figure since the weight rating for the tire is based on the max pressure on the sidewall I get the best load capacity with that pressure.
