Upon delivery of my 2022 Accord Hybrid Touring, the cold tire pressure was 45 psi on all tires rather than 33 psi as suggested by Honda. Lowering it to about 35 tended to initially cause the TMPS monitor to appear even though the car is brand new and there was no evidence of tire damage on any of the tires. I'll hit the recalibrate button and see what happens after driving it for a while. Should I set it higher than 33 psi to avoid the TMPS warning going off and if so, how much?

Once it's recalibrated the TPMS warning shouldn't be an issue as it will be set at 33 PSI. Not sure what the threshold of tire pressure loss activates the warning but dropping 10lbs probably was the cause of it activating.

Even after recalibrating to 35 PSI, the TMPS warning still appeared a bit later on as I drove the car. I'll re-calibrated again and will see what happens. Just wondering if the TMPS monitor sensitivity is a bit too high on the new Accord models causing a false warning. Any special reason why they are delivered with pressures much higher that suggested?
