I'm surprised the sticker is that high. . .. If you don't mind a little
harsher ride, and as long as you check them COLD, and rotate faithfully,
why not save a little gasoline? I run about 32 PSI all around in my
CR-V, but its a different beast. I can't actually comment on that tire,
but I think I saw the Honda bulletin about the (shocking) shoulder wear.

Just got a new '07 Accord EX-L V6 sedan that came with 17" Michelin Pilot HX
MXM4 tires with specs 217/50 17 93V . The owner's manual and door jamb
sticker call for 32 lbs. front and 29 lbs. rear.

I do mostly around-town driving with some local interstate miles in the
Birmingham, AL area. I've always run 32 pounds of pressure in all four
tires-- and the owner of a local tire place whose advice is usually pretty
solid suggested running 35 lbs all around to offset the poor life expectancy
of these otherwise nice tires.

So what has people's experience been with these tires on this car?
