Acura RDX Tire Pressure

It is important to maintain proper tire pressure for Acura RDX tires. Low tire pressure will result in tire underinflation, and high tire pressure will result in tire overinflation, which can compromise tire safety, cause tire blowout, decrease fuel efficiency, cause uneven tire wear and reduce tire tread life. Check Acura RDX tire pressure regularly, and monitor Acura RDX tire inflation levels to avoid overinflated or underinflated tires.

Keep in mind that tire inflation value listed on tire sidewall is a maximum tire pressure the tire can be inflated to, and not a recommended tire pressure for Acura RDX. Use recommended tire pressure listed on the tire pressure chart found on a sticker on driver's door jam or in Acura RDX manual. Also, pay attention as your Acura RDX may have different recommended tire pressure values for front and rear tires. Keep Acura RDX tires inflated within reasonable psi range of the recommended levels.

If you replace Acura RDX original equipment tires with optional tire sizes or you switch to plus size tires, make sure to follow guidelines for the application of load and inflation tables to find proper tire pressure for your new tires on your Acura RDX. Tires with the same load index, regardless of tire size, may carry the same load, but not always, and they may require substantially different inflation pressures. Tire load index may not be used independently to determine replacement tire acceptability for load capacity. An equal or greater load index does not always correspond to equal or greater load capacity at all inflation pressure settings.

Always refer to the Acura RDX owner’s manual for any specific safety advice regarding the application of replacement tires.

Acura RDX replacement tires must have equal or greater speed rating compared to the original equipment tires if your Acura RDX speed capability is to be maintained. It is recommended that tire installers refer to the Acura RDX owner’s manual to identify any tire speed rating restriction or recommendation that could affect the operation of the vehicle. If Acura RDX replacement tires have a lower speed rating than Acura RDX original equipment tires, the vehicle’s speed must be restricted to that of the replacement tires.

Original equipment tires that come on your Acura RDX will have the proper tire load index, so stick to that number or higher when you replace them with new tires. Tire load index tells you how much weight your tire can carry. Putting too much weight on your tires will overload them, and can cause tire damage, premature tire wear or even tire blowout. You can check Acura RDX manual to find the recommended tire size and load rating.

Acura RDX tire pressure changes with temperature, so check your Acura RDX tire pressure when outside temperatures change. During colder months when temperatures drop, Acura RDX tire pressure will decrease also by approximately 1 psi for each 10 degrees Fahrenheit. Maintain proper Acura RDX winter tire pressure by adding air to your tires as needed to the recommended tire inflation levels.

Acura RDX tire pressure should be checked when tires are cold, after the vehicle has not been driven for at least three hours. It is best to check your tire inflation pressure in the morning, after the vehicle has been parked overnight.

If your Acura RDX is equipped with tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS), pay attention to low tire pressure warning light being on. Ensure your tire pressure sensors are working properly to stay alert and enjoy a safe ride. If your tire pressure warning light is on, check front and rear tires to make sure they are properly inflated.
