Tire pressure, go with max car can handle or go with with max PSI tire can handle?
I have an 2000 Accord Ex coupe, with 15 inch whells bridgestone Potenza's. The car says the max PSI tire pressure should be 29 PSI while my tire indicates it can handle up to 44 max PSI. THe question is which one should I go with? The tires look pretty low when at 29 PSI so I was thinking I should go higher. Thanks for the feedback guys.

Anywhere from what Honda recommends to a few pounds over is what you should go with.
The max pressure on the tire is the absolute limit that they cant be safely inflated to. Youd only go close to that when hauling real heavy cargo etc, but no one really does that in an Accord.
