Yeah, a tire isn't gonna blow up if you don't follow the recommendation on the sticker on the door pillar.
To the op, what tires do you have? Stock size, or oversized.

Im concerned that the Mitsubishi service manager couldnt give me a straight answer. "Maybe the previous owner just didnt put oil in it?" As if he didnt have detailed records right in front of his face. Im hoping since the new engine is barely 5 months old it just has to break in. My 2014 Hatch however is getting great mpg daily, city driving up to 41 mpg!
Maybe the dealership left the oil filter or drain plug loose and are too embarrassed to admit it lol

I have read this thread with much interest and some disbelief. In over 40 years of driving there have been occasions where I have inadvertently over inflated tyre/tyres and is quite noticeable when driving. When I picked up my Mirage a few days ago I knew the tyres were over inflated, upon checking each were 2-3 psi over. They were soon corrected. On a safety issue over inflated tyres affect handling amounting to roll which is potentially dangerous along with the fact you increase the likelihood of a tyre burst. Not to mention uneven wear and short tyre life.
The UK cars require 32 psi (2.2 bar) for the front and 35 psi (2.4 bar) for rear. If fully laden may require adjustment though.
I believe the OP should rethink and stick to manufacturers recommendations.

I run 45 - 50 psi and have done so since I brought the car home. I'm still on the same tires that came with the car.
Increasing tire pressure improves fuel economy. It's cheap and simple. Of all modifications it has the best return on investment.
Try increasing the pressure in your tires 5 psi at a time and see what you think. Watch your fuel consumption drop. Like a money back guarantee, you can always go back if you don't like it.

Don't be silly. There's more choices in the stock size.
