Tyre pressure and size · Pakistan

Use the cold tyre pressure for the exact Honda motorcycle

Direct answer: there is no safe universal “Honda bike pressure.” The current range uses 22 or 25 PSI at the front, 29 PSI for rider-only rear use, and model-specific rider-plus-passenger rear values from 33 to 40 PSI. Tyre sizes also differ across all major model groups.

Atlas Honda tyre sizes and cold pressures by riding setup

The rider-plus-passenger rear value applies only to that exact supported setup. It is not a cargo pressure, an excess-load approval or a universal value for another tyre, rim, motorcycle or modified configuration.

The key practical difference is at the rear: all current rows use 29 PSI for rider-only rear pressure, but rider-plus-passenger rear pressure is 33, 36 or 40 PSI depending on the exact model. Front pressure stays the same between the two setups for each row.

Private exact-model pressure finder

Select the motorcycle and actual riding setup

This tool runs only in your browser and transmits nothing. Petrol-model source values are published in PSI; their kPa and bar values below are mathematical conversions rounded for a different gauge. ICON e publishes PSI, kPa and kgf/cm² equivalents together.

The passenger value does not approve excess load, goods, non-standard tyres, changed wheels or a modified setup. Confirm the current exact-model limits and fitment through the proper service route.

Read the pressure correctly

Cold target, hot reading and riding setup are different facts

Cold

Use the source basis

Check before riding or after sufficient cooling. Normal riding warms a tyre and increases the reading, so a hot result is not directly comparable with the cold target.

Front

One value for both setups

Each current exact-model specification uses the same front pressure for rider-only and rider-plus-passenger use: 25 PSI on petrol models and 22 PSI on ICON e.

Rear

The passenger value is model-specific

Use 29 PSI for rider-only rear use across the current matrix. With rider and passenger, use the exact row's 33, 36 or 40 PSI value.

Condition

Pressure cannot repair damage

A correct reading does not make a cut, crack, bulge, exposed cord, puncture, leaking valve, damaged rim, loose wheel or wrong fitment safe.

Do not normalize 40 or 50 PSI across the range. Forty PSI is the current rider-plus-passenger rear value for the CG125 variants shown here; it is not a front value or a universal target. This matrix does not publish 50 PSI for any current model/setup.

Source-first inspection flow

Eight checks from model identification to a safe record

Identify the exact motorcycle

Confirm model, variant and current wheel/tyre configuration before using a number.

Open the current documents

Use the exact operation guide and specification; a newer verified source controls.

Measure cold

Check before riding or after sufficient cooling rather than correcting a warmed reading.

Select the actual setup

Keep rider-only and rider-plus-passenger rear pressure separate.

Use a suitable gauge

Measure front and rear; do not judge pressure from appearance or touch alone.

Inspect tyre and wheel condition

Check tread, sidewalls, punctures, valve, rim, bearings and wheel security as applicable.

Correct and recheck

Adjust to the exact cold target, refit the valve cap and verify the result.

Record or escalate

Document repeat loss or changed fitment and arrange trained inspection for unsafe conditions.

Fitment and safety boundaries

What the matrix does not authorize

No alternate-size approval

The table records the current source sizes. It does not approve a different width, profile, rim, ply, load index, speed symbol, tube/tubeless setup or brand for an exact motorcycle. Confirm the complete application before purchase or installation.

No cargo or overload calculation

The rider-plus-passenger value is not a payload calculator. Current load, carrier, accessory, warranty, handling and safe-use limits still control; do not add pressure to legitimize an unsafe load.

No roadside structural diagnosis

Repeated loss, impact, wobble, vibration, steering change, damaged tread or sidewall, bent rim, loose spokes or wheel-security concern requires inspection. Adding air does not diagnose or resolve the cause.

No hot-to-cold deflation

Pressure normally rises as the tyre warms. Do not bleed a hot tyre down to the cold target and assume it is correct; allow sufficient cooling, remeasure and investigate abnormal loss.

Primary evidence

Where the sizes and pressure values came from

Current operation guides

Applicable petrol-model guide book page 33 states cold checking, tyre-condition warnings, tread limits, front pressure, rear pressure range and front/rear sizes. The CG150 guide preserves its own size and 29–33 PSI rear range.

Frequently asked questions

Quick exact-model tyre answers

What is the correct tyre pressure for Honda CD70?

25 PSI at the front for both setups, 29 PSI at the rear for rider-only use and 33 PSI at the rear with rider and passenger. The current sizes are 2.25-17 4PR front and 2.50-17 4PR rear. Check cold.

What is the correct tyre pressure for Honda CG125?

25 PSI front for both setups, 29 PSI rear for rider-only use and 40 PSI rear with rider and passenger. The current standard CG125 sheet lists 2.50-18 38P front and 3.00-17 50P rear.

Do CG125 Self and CG125 Gold use different tyre pressures?

The current hosted sheets for Self and Gold state the same pressure and size values: 25 PSI front, 29 PSI rear rider-only, 40 PSI rear with rider and passenger, 2.50-18 38P front and 3.00-17 50P rear.

What is the correct tyre pressure for Honda Pridor?

25 PSI front for both setups, 29 PSI rear for rider-only use and 36 PSI rear with rider and passenger. The current sizes are 2.75-18 4PR front and 2.75-18 6PR rear.

What tyre pressure do CB125F, CG150 and CB150F use?

All three state 25 PSI front and 29 PSI rear for rider-only use. The rider-plus-passenger rear value is 36 PSI for CB125F and 33 PSI for CG150 and CB150F. Their size markings are different, so use the exact row.

What tyre pressure and size does Honda ICON e use?

The current electric specification states 22 PSI front for both setups, 29 PSI rear rider-only and 33 PSI rear with rider and passenger. It lists 90/90-12 44J front and 100/90-10 56J rear.

Should motorcycle tyre pressure be checked hot or cold?

Use the exact-model cold target. Normal riding warms the tyre and raises pressure, so do not bleed a hot tyre down to the cold target. Allow sufficient cooling and recheck.

Why is rear pressure higher with a passenger?

The specifications publish a separate rear value for the rider-plus-passenger setup. Use only the exact model's value. It does not authorize excess load, cargo or operation outside the current guide.

Can I use 40 or 50 PSI in every Honda motorcycle tyre?

No. Forty PSI is the rider-plus-passenger rear value only for the current CG125 variants in this matrix. It is not a front value or universal target, and this matrix publishes no 50 PSI setup.

Is correct pressure enough to make a tyre safe?

No. Pressure cannot make a damaged, cracked, bulged, punctured, incorrectly fitted, worn or structurally compromised tyre, wheel, valve or mounting safe. Inspect the complete condition and use trained service when necessary.

Exact model, correct cold target, safe fitment

Confirm a tyre, tube, wheel or pressure concern before travel

Send the exact motorcycle model, front or rear position, current tyre marking, observable concern and whether the request is part-only or workshop inspection. Keep payment credentials, identity images and complete motorcycle identifiers out of an ordinary web inquiry.

Road-speed vibration boundary

Pressure is evidence—not the complete vibration diagnosis.

When noise or vibration changes with road speed, braking, surface or handling, use the wheel, tyre, chain, brake and chassis route. Stop normal riding for handling changes, then use this page for exact cold pressure and tyre markings.

Steering and suspension boundary

Correct pressure does not clear a wobble, pull or impact.

Use the exact-model chassis safety route for wobble, pulling, fork leakage, harshness, rear bounce, steering restriction, impact and recent wheel work. Tyre pressure cannot make a damaged wheel, brake, steering or suspension system safe.

Does the bike rev without matching road response or feel held back? The pickup evidence finder routes power-transfer, chain/wheel, brake/tyre, warning and ICON e evidence without a full-throttle, wheel-spin, brake-drag or road-speed test.

Rain and washing care

Use low-pressure water and route every post-water change safely

The Honda motorcycle washing, rain and water-care guide covers the official low-pressure wash sequence, hot-part, brake, chain, intake, exhaust and electrical boundaries, separate ICON e handling and a private exact-model exposure finder. Deep water, pressure washing, no-start, changed braking or an electrical warning is an inspection route—not a reason to repeat-start or road-test the motorcycle.

Long parking and safe restart

Plan before storage—and inspect before start or charge

Use the exact-model Honda motorcycle storage and restart guide to record duration and environment, then route fuel, battery and tyre evidence without a universal tank, charger, periodic-start or blind-restart shortcut. Honda ICON e remains on its separate electric-system path.

Buying a used Honda motorcycle

Verify records before money—and condition before price

Use the used Honda buying and pre-purchase inspection checklist to place official owner/vehicle/transfer evidence, maintenance and cold/static history, trained exact-model findings, lawful test-ride clearance and completed transfer ahead of a token or seller-led shortcut.

Run the exact-model Honda motorcycle pre-ride inspection before first movement. It checks tyre, brake, control, energy, fluid, final-drive and light or warning evidence, puts dangerous observations first, and keeps ICON e separate from petrol, engine-oil, clutch and chain instructions.

Tyres and pressure affect the real fit and clearance check

Catalogue geometry assumes the correct exact-model condition; wrong pressure, tyre size, damage, wear or wheel fitment can change feel and clearance. Use the current seat-height, dry-weight and ground-clearance matrix only after preserving the actual tyre and load state.

Load before pressure

Confirm the complete permitted load before choosing the exact cold-pressure row.

The current load-limit matrix and private planner count rider, passenger, luggage or cargo and accessories. Being below that figure does not allow an invented pressure, overloaded carrier or automatic passenger setup.

Replacement is a separate decision

Correct cold pressure does not clear worn or damaged tread.

Use the exact-model tyre-replacement and tread-depth finder for the nine petrol models' 1.5 mm front and 2.0 mm rear minimums, the unpublished ICON e numeric boundary, TWI, structural damage, leakage, abnormal wear, impact and complete replacement fitment.
