Has anyone checked their tyre pressures?
The label on the drivers door post says 26psi front and rear. Just checked mine with my digi gauge and they are up to 38psi, surely the dealer couldn't get them that wrong?
I would be interested to see what other peoples tyre pressure are set at from the dealer.

This has always been a problem with the Jimny. Garages and tyre fitters never check the required pressure and over inflate the tyres, leading to a bumpy ride and skittish handling.

The garagfe that serviced my neighbour's Jimny did that - it almost put her in the ditch!
After a serious rebuke, they have revised their bad practices

Same here. Valve on one of the tires started leaking, so had to change it. 5min job at the garage, but that was one uncomfortable tire to drive with afterwards. Same thing happened last time i changed tires. We just got to learn to look after this on our own I guess.

Not having had TPMS before, I thought it it have warned of over inflation. Have deflated them down to 26psi now.
Also looked at the PDI tick sheet, couldn't see 'Check tyre pressure' on there.

I'm sure I've read that TPMS warn when tyre pressure drops below a certain preset level.
