When they strap them down, they don't want the tires getting squashed flat and possibly damaged so they overinflate them. I've been told that this was more important when shipping vehicles overseas but I guess they do it for truck shipments too.What does shipping have to do with tire pressures? Maybe if they were filled with helium, it would be easier on the truck haulers.
Well, got the PDI from service manager and of course tire pressure box was checked. Which tells me that there could be much more on that list that is checked off but really wasn’t actually inspected. Lost trust in that service department.this is all BS. The pressure in the tires should be caught during the pre-delivery inspection. No one has an excuse. This is a service department fail, and they need to be pointed out.
