Rear tyres wearing on edges
Discussion
I have a Honda Accord Tourer and I keep the tyres at their recommended pressure of 33 psi / 2.2 bar.
The rears are wearing on the edges much faster than the middle - can this only be a tyre pressure issue? Do I need to increase the pressure to 36 psi / 2.4 bar?
I quite often have 4 people plus bikes on a towbar rack, for long journeys.
(Note pic is my winter tyres but summer tyres do the same).

Above says rears should be 41psi if the car is loaded. All the front wheel drive cars I’ve had have been like this. I always up the pressures at the rear if it has people and luggage. Just follow your manual / door sticker.
I brought one of those cigarette lighter Ring air compressors so its easy to pump in air. Back that up with a tyre pressure gauge for taking air out.
Thanks wyson - it does seem like I'm doing half my driving with a load in the back (people, bikes, paddelboard etc) so need to be using the 41 psi 'Rear Loaded" pressure.Above says rears should be 41psi if the car is loaded.

I would have though in a front engine car the weight on the front wheels would be significantly more so these would need the higher pressure?
