A Honda driver said a routine tire fill-up at Walmart turned into a safety nightmare.<\/p>\n
TikTok user @roychachacha claimed in a recent video that he went to Walmart to get air added to his tires, but something felt \u201cweird\u201d as soon as he drove away. Concerned, he headed to a Honda dealership, where techs discovered just how bad the issue was.<\/p>\n
\u201cThey checked my air pressure and it showed 111 psi, 56 psi, 85 psi, 96 psi,\u201d he wrote in the text overlay of his clip. As of this writing, the video had racked up more than 36,500 views, with viewers weighing in on just how risky\u2014and ridiculous\u2014the situation was.<\/p>\n
For most Honda vehicles, the recommended tire pressure falls between<\/a> 32 and 36 PSI (pounds per square inch). But it\u2019s always smart to double-check, as specific models may vary<\/a>. You\u2019ll find the exact number in your owner\u2019s manual or on the sticker inside the driver\u2019s side doorjamb, usually near the latch.<\/p>\n Tire pressure can fluctuate with the weather\u2014colder temps tend to lower it, while extreme heat can raise it\u2014so adjustments may be needed seasonally. If you\u2019re hauling a heavier load than usual, a slight increase in pressure might also be recommended. Again, the manual has your back on the specifics.<\/p>\n Not sure you\u2019ve got it right? Just like @roychachacha, your best bet is to stop by a dealership or service center for a quick check.<\/p>\n Tire pressure that\u2019s too high isn\u2019t just a minor issue; it can be dangerous. Since most passenger vehicles recommend staying between 30 and 36 PSI, going much higher than that, like the triple-digit readings @roychachacha reported, can seriously affect<\/a> your car\u2019s performance and safety.<\/p>\n When a tire is overinflated, it becomes too stiff. That means a bumpier ride, reduced traction, and more wear right down the center of the tread. You\u2019ll lose grip on the road, especially in wet or slippery conditions, and your braking distance could increase. It also puts extra strain on your suspension and steering, making your car harder to control, especially when turning or swerving.<\/p>\n Overinflated tires are also more vulnerable to damage from potholes and debris<\/a>, and in extreme cases, they can blow out<\/a>\u2014especially in hot weather or at high speeds.<\/p>\n In short, too much air can cost you in comfort, control, and tire life.<\/p>\n After watching @roychachacha\u2019s video, several viewers made it clear: They wouldn\u2019t trust Walmart with so much as a windshield wipe.<\/p>\n \u201cI wouldn\u2019t let Walmart wash my windshield,\u201d one person joked.<\/p>\n \u201cThat\u2019s why I wouldn\u2019t want Walmart to do anything with my car,\u201d another added.\u00a0<\/p>\n \u201cNice! That\u2019s another reason I wouldn\u2019t want Walmart to do anything with my car,\u201d a third echoed.\u00a0<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019m not even a real big car guy, and even I know to never to go Walmart,\u201d a fourth chimed in.<\/p>\n Others weren\u2019t laughing, pointing out how serious the overinflation could\u2019ve been.<\/p>\n \u201c111 psi on a passenger tire is legit dangerous,\u201d one commenter warned. \u201cLike, just the force of it blowing off the rim could be fatal.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cMy tires on my car are supposed to be around 40,\u201d another wrote. \u201cWas he trying to blow the tires up?\u201d<\/p>\n \u201c111 psi? The tire didn\u2019t blow?\u201d a third asked.<\/p>\n Motor1<\/em> has reached out to @roychachacha via TikTok direct message and to Walmart through its online press contact form.
