The door panel reads 30psi. I just got two new tires from a mechanic
who seemed pretty knowledgeable and he filled up the front tires to
40psi and the back to 35psi. Why did he do that when the door panel
says 30? |

I suppose when customers drive out with higher pressures, this results in
fewer comebacks than when they leave with lower pressures. Few people check
their tires on a regular basis, so...
He probably overinflated to seat the beads, then dropped it down a bit
after. Lower the pressure yourself (cold!) back to 30. You may find your
tires spec at about 45psi max pressure, so that brief visit to 40 did no
damage.
Say, do your new tires vibrate at around 55-60 mph? Just asking.

He obviously was a 'lot' less knowledgeable than he let on eh.
The BS artists that figure if you can't dazzle em with brilliance,
baffle em with BS are in real trouble because of the internet.
