2025 honda civic hatchback spor standard non hybrid model
Question for you guys. My car , 2025 civic hatchback sport, is rolling on the factory black 18” ten spoke rims with oem 235/40/18 standard tires. I asked the dealer where I bought it and they told me everything is perfect on it and could be driven from here, Louisiana, to California no problem. My question is I’ve never had a vehicle with this low profile tire setup and to me the tires always look damn near flat but the car drives perfectly. How can you tell if the tires pressures are good other than the TPMS idiot light? I’m just not sure because of the tire profile but is this concern normal? I have a good tire gauge but checking them daily is a pita when they always look like they’re flat. I guess I’m just not used to low profile tires or whatever. Opinions welcomed. Thanks

I'm guessing that you're going on a road trip, hence the daily checks? You have a tire gauge, carve out 1-2 minutes a day during your trip at a rest stop/gas station to check your pressures, it's not that big of a pain. As a regular daily driver, checking tire pressures when you fill-up should be sufficient.
