Tyre pressures
Make sure you buy a tyre pressure gauge of your own, who knows when the last time the air pump at the garage was calibrated.
Buying your own gauge will insure you get similar readings.
Please enter all readings as COLD
Please beware that tyre pressure is part of your suspension setup and the pressure numbers from the manual is a good start if you run factory geo and OE tyres. Anything else is trial and error.
That said starting at the low end will help you find the correct pressure faster.
