Depends on different things like weather, alignment, road conditions, ect... When I went to get mine aligned, the guy told me to keep the fronts at 50 PSI because I have a slight negative camber issue in the front... My tires are rated at 55 max PSI...

Heres a page which tells you a little bit about proper tire pressure...

Spare tire. Honda compact spare tires should be inflated to 60 PSI, no more, no less.

Normal tires should be inflated as per the manufacturer's sticker in the driver's door jamb. 32psi for most Honda vehicles. Too much more then that and you will increase the wear to the inside of the tread.

not true. to much psi over manufaqctur rating will increase tread wear in the middle. to less and you increase wear on the outsides of the tire. both inside and outside.

even with camber issues you still create tire wear anyway you look at it. it is kind of like saying.....make the car toed in ( / \ ) to even the wear for your negative camber. sure...in theory your tires would wear evenly but why sacrifice handling for even wear? cant have best of both worlds....either handling...or tire wear...pick one

Default not to be a "dick" but the question was for the spare.

i wanted to know the proper psi for the spare tire in the trunk nothing more or less thanks for the repsonses so far but it was dedicated to the spare.....for the "just in case i get a flat" situation
