How to Check Tire Pressure on Your Honda Pilot EX
Check cold (parked 3+ hours) with a gauge. Every Pilot from 2016 on (3rd generation 2016-2022 and 4th generation 2023+) uses indirect TPMS, which estimates pressure from wheel speed — that is why your Pilot does not show individual PSI numbers, and why you must run TPMS Calibration from the menu after adjusting pressures. (Pilots from 2015 and earlier had direct sensors.) The recommended cold pressure is a uniform 35 PSI.

What PSI should my spare tire be on a 2020 Honda Pilot EX?
The compact spare tire (donut) for the 2020 Honda Pilot EX should be inflated to 60 PSI. Check your spare every few months — it can lose air while sitting unused in the trunk. Compact spares are for temporary use only (max 50 mph, up to 50 miles).
Does tire pressure change with temperature?
Yes. For every 10°F drop in outside temperature, your tire pressure drops about 1 PSI. This is why TPMS warning lights often come on during the first cold snap of autumn. The opposite is also true — tire pressure increases about 1 PSI per 10°F temperature rise. Always inflate to the recommended 35 PSI when tires are cold.
