I got my corsa 2016 major serviced and my tyre psi was set at 38/39 psi

1. 39 front, 37 rear for “eco”

   31-34psi for “comfort”

   [the manual](https://www.vauxhall.co.uk/content/dam/vauxhall/Home/PDFs/owners/owners-manuals/corsa/corsa-owners-manual-january-2016.pdf)

2. Check your manual, or door panel, it will tell you the recommended tyre pressure, but for a corsa, that seems too high.

   I had a tyre shop set my pressure to 2.8bar when it was supposed to be 2.2 before.

3. I’m somewhat concerned that you don’t know what your tyre pressure *should* be 

4. 35-38 for fully loaded vehicles with those tyres according to the internet, so technically not wrong, but unnecessary if you aren’t driving around fully laden

5. Look at the label for the tyre pressures on your car / in your owners manual.

   Normally in the fuel filler cap or driver’s door shut on the vehicle, but will be in the manual.

6. It does seem high but the last Corsa I had was a 2008 model and it gave two recommendations for the pressures. One was very high for economy, which I thought weird, the other was ‘normal’ for best comfort and performance. Maybe the garage set them at economy settings. What does the tyre info plate say on the car? Also the person inflating the tyres might not have paid attention to the actual recommendations.

7. I have mine set to eco and fronts are 38, rears are 35.

8. I had an Astra K and they recommended 41psi, check your manual or door pillar badge.

9. Think it’s good to be slightly over, because they go down ever so slowly over the months, your never really running them on under pressure then which is supposed to be worse for the tires. Of course the cars I driven didn’t have these fancy pressure monitors, so you didn’t know till the next check.

10. Cheeky 100mpg

11. Use a normal airline to check the readings are accurate.

12. Recently bought a new car (VW Golf), as in brand new so brand new tyres… Assumed they’d have done the tyre pressures perfectly as part of preparing the car for pickup but when I checked they were almost 50 psi. Quite near the max pressure printed on the tyres….

    I quickly deflated them to what was printed on the pillar by the driver’s seat.

13. Just check the inside of the B pillar towards the bottom of where the driver door closes.

14. Thing is, if the vehicle has ECO mode selected in the load settings and you drop the pressure to 32, you will get a low pressure warning light. You might have had the ECO mode selected, so the tech may have matched the pressures to what they assumed was your preference.

15. Always refer back to oem specs don’t look at Reddit

16. Whenever I set customers tyres (several times a day) i check to see what setting customer has on dash ie soft, eco etc then i set them to the label in door

17. Corsa eco pressure is 2.7bar (~39psi) front and 2.5bar (~36psi) rear. So it looks like your mechanic set it to ECO.

18. Once you pop, you can’t stop! 🎶

    Set the right pressures. This is nuts. 

19. I think they might have filled them with premium air, tends to last longer

20. Yes a little high but It’s nothing to be alarmed at. You’re TPMS system in the car probably isn’t very accurate either so who knows

21. It’s normal. My mechanic told me last time I went that they tend to put a little extra air than needed anyway since tires naturally lose pressure over time.
