I just could not let this pass. When you increase the tire pressure on any standard car tire you are asking for some serious problems. The people who made that tire built it to operate safely at some pressure up to certain load weights. Increasing your tire pressure to the max is a durn unsafe thing to do.
Keep it at the recommend standard, say 34 or what ever, DO NOT go by the car book, look on the side of the tire and never fill it to the max!! For example say you get new tires different from what came on the car. Would you still follow the book? Nope, follow the tire its self.
A mile or two per gallon increase in gas mileage is not worth risking your life or the life of the people in your car and other drivers.

Hmmmm,
Honda recommends 30 PSI for the HCH. It is printed on the driver's doorwell. But, if we follow your suggestions, we should look at the tire itself. Well, the tires on the HCH have a max rating of 51 PSI. That is 21 PSI higher than what Honda recommends. Honda only states 30 PSI to give the best ride comfort.
