A few weeks ago I picked up my F80. Noticed today during a routine tire pressure check on all vehicles that all tires on it were in the 40's. Temp has dropped a fair amount since I picked the car up, so was likely even further inflated upon delivery.
Are they going by some other guidelines or are they just careless? I'm guessing the latter.
Thoughts? Thanks.

Thy might believe that inflating the tyres to such a high psi prevents flat spots if the car is parked for a while?
