About one month after my purchase of my brand new Mazda3, I checked the tire pressures. All 4 tyres were 50 psi!! 18 psi more than the recommended tire pressure and 6 psi more than maximum allowable pressure. I could not believe that it might be possible, I made sure that the device was measuring accurately and also ask somebody else to check the tire pressure. Yes all four tires were 50 psi. I drove that vehicle for about 3000 miles mostly on highway with those over inflated tires!!! I am lucky to be alive. Either the dealer (cook Mazda in michigan) or in some other Mazda facility, the tires were overinflated probably because of an uncalibrated tool. I believe my car is not the only Mazda car with overinflated tires in traffic.
