thanks for the info bro....got some question....

i dint change the rim so i think the size is 185 no change...what about the XX? if its not 55 is that ok?

then the speedometer u mention how to check it? can solve the bumpy feel??

Wat is ur tyre size now? u can see it at the side walls of your tyre. Eg. 185/55r16

Then use the tyre size calculator to check similar sizes:
http://tire-size-conversion.com/tyre-size-calculator/
General rule is do not exceed 3% error.

Some people say u can lowering the tyre pressure to get extra comfort. But there are also cons.

Best is to follow the recommended tyre pressure.
Tyre pressure is not determine by the tyre size. So if u change a different tyre size, it will not affect the tyre pressure.
Tyre pressure is actually determine by:
1) Car speed (normally how fast u drive. U can follow the tyre recommendation sticker. U will see it when u open the car door.
2) Car load (If u are bringing alot of passengers or stuff, u may need to increase tyre pressure)
3) Duration (If u are bringing heavy load for a long period of time, u may also need to increase tyre pressure)

Always invest on a good tyre pressure gauge to check the tyre pressure every 2 weeks or at least once a month.

PS: i read mostly from internet and forums so correct me if i am wrong, hehe..

yes..its 185/55r16....i checked this morning....

so even i change diff brand of tyre the pressure still follow honda standard?

Yeah, just follow the honda standard.

Michelin XM2 is meant for durability, not so much on performance and noise.

I am also planning to change to XM2 since my dad's camry is using it. So far so good..

There is a sticker near the driver door that state the pressure. Curious is the pressure is for HOT or COLD  tyre?
*
When checking tyre pressure, it is always best to check when the tyres are cold so that the tyre pressure reading will be more accurate. So i believe the sticker is for cold tyres.

You can refer to the link below for more information:

Thanks. That is exactly what I read from michelin guidelines.

Yeah, the recommended tyre pressure sticker is for cold tyre.
If follow the recommended tyre pressure on hot tyre, the actual pressure is below recommended tyre pressure when the tyre is cold. Meaning to say the tyre is actually inflated. Driving in over inflated tyres can lead to many disadvantage such as:
1) Overheating in tyres which will lead to poor vehicle handling on the road.
2) Tyres will quickly wear off.
3) Increase in rolling resistance as more fuel is required to maintain the same speed.

That is why michelin guidline suggested to add extra psi onto recommended tyre pressure for hot tyres.
