2019 Honda PCX 150 Tire Pressure

[SantinoInc]

Ok, so the manual calls for 29PSI for the front and 36PSI for the rear. The odd thing is that every tire gauge I use says thst the PSI is well below those figures and the tires are already very firm. Am I missing something here? Are the tires supposed to be very firm and rigid with no give?

Someone please help me out here

29/33......

Should the tires feel very firm at that those PSI? Like you can't even pushed them in at all?

Yes. But you might want to get a 2nd gauge and verify the PSI. They are cheap enough. Use the recommended pressure or something close to it.

Thanks for the advice, I'm going to buy a third gauge to be sure I have the pressure right!

Get a TPMS. It is not as cheap as a simple gauge, but it can tell temperatures too, so you know what PSI to expect at what temperature as you ride. I try to only look at it before going out and on my way home at the end of the day. It is a convenience. It has allowed me to detect a nail in my tyre early, and also when my repair plug started failing.

What particular brand do you have on yours? How much did it cost you?

If you’re going to come on and discuss a product please put a link. Here’s the one that I’ve been using for the past three years , it’s been flawless.

I got a Chinese unbranded reseller product: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/4000528793184.html
I paid US$28.89 for it.

Been using it since early February, so only just over 2 months but so far I am very satisfied. I ride almost every day, I just got lazy checking the tyre pressure before every ride the old way.

To jge64: the one you showed a link to, on Amazon, was it easy to set up? I tried getting one once but found the instructions indecipherable. How does the monitor attach to the scooter to show the pressure read outs? Thanks.
