Does the Honda Civic Come With a Spare Tire?
Honda Civics used to come with a spare tire, but they dropped this as a standard feature for the 2020 Civic. Honda still offers the spare tire with a tire kit as an add-on, and it may be included in some trim levels, but don’t look for it in a base model.
What’s the Recommended Tire Pressure for a Honda Civic?
30-35 psi. Your tires may vary, so you’ll want to read the tire and check your owner’s manual before you hit the pumps. You don’t want to over-inflate or under-inflate. But most Honda Civics come with stock tires intended for 30-35 pounds per square inch.
How Do You Reset the Tire Pressure Indicator on a Honda Civic?
Drive on the highway at 50mph for about ten minutes. If that doesn’t work, use your steering wheel buttons to press MENU, then select “customize settings,” “TPMS calibration,” “Initialize,” “Yes,” and hit MENU again to exit. Finally, disconnect and reconnect your battery as a last resort.
