As I'm sure you notice on the inside of your fill door, it's 32 up front, 34 in the back. But for driving in excess of 100mph, add 4 to those numbers.

I generally run 35 all around, but maybe +1 or 2 in the rears. I do sometimes drive 100+; plus the slightly higher pressure gives a slightly sportier ride with increased fuel consumption (miniscule, i'm sure).

Thanks man.....I just bought the car a few months ago..and believe it or not, I did even notice anything inside the filler door. I will definately double check that. I used to own an Accord and always ran 36psi in the tires. It gave that sporty feel you are talking about.
