The recommended cold tire pressures for the Honda CR-V (RE, 2007-2012) are printed on the label inside the driver’s door pillar. The values below are taken from that placard.

The tire-pressure label on the driver's door pillar lists pressures by wheel size (LHD car shown).
Tire sizeFrontRear
225/65 R17 (102T / 101H)2.1 bar (30 psi)2.1 bar (30 psi)
225/60 R18 (100H)2.3 bar (33 psi)2.3 bar (33 psi)
Spare T155/90 D17 (space-saver)4.2 bar (60 psi)

Set pressures when the tires are cold. Add about 0.2 bar (3 psi) for a full load of passengers and luggage or sustained high-speed driving. Always confirm against the label on your own car’s door pillar.

Does your CR-V have TPMS?

Most European 2007-2009 CR-Vs were not fitted with a tire-pressure monitoring system; US-market cars and later European cars have one. If your cluster never shows a low-pressure warning, your car has no TPMS and there is nothing to reset — just set the pressures above.

Reset the TPMS (cars fitted with the system)

  1. Inflate all four tires to the pressures shown above.
  2. Move the gear selector to P (or N) and turn the ignition ON without starting the engine.
  3. Press and hold the INFO button until the service display appears in the menu.
  4. Press INFO to scroll through the menu until the TPMS calibration option is shown.
  5. Press the SEL/RESET button; a confirmation message appears.
  6. Press INFO, then press SEL/RESET again and wait until “COMPLETE” is displayed. The new pressures are stored.

US-market cars with direct sensors relearn automatically after driving several minutes once the tires are correctly inflated.

Frequently asked questions

What pressure for the space-saver spare? 4.2 bar (60 psi), and keep your speed below 80 km/h (50 mph) on it.

The light stays on after inflating. Make sure all four tires — and the spare on cars that monitor it — are at the correct pressure, then repeat the reset or drive a few miles for the system to relearn.
