As said, more likely you’ve had your car thrashed around by the workers. Happened to a friend of mine only last year. He’d just put new rears on his m140i and it went in for some big type of service. They had it a few days and when he got it back he thought it felt a little “lively” at the back; up in Scotland so roads are normally greasy. He stopped, checked the tyres to see if they’d excessively sprayed tyre-black on the tread…when he realised there was almost no tread left.

Went straight back to the garage, staff in the showroom weren’t having any of it “nope, not us” – when the workshop manager saw him losing the rag in the showroom, he was promptly given a full service refund, two new tyres and a day in a gold (yuck) M4 while the tyres were ordered in.
This just didn’t happen did it ?

Never tyre of reading this sort of bks on here.

I'm not so sure, it must have at least another Goodyear in it yet.

You'll find the centers wear faster.
No manufacturer for saloons/hatchbacks recommends 45psi.
Most are around 33-35.
I notice hugely at 42psi on my car it's crap!!
Funny, my saloon sits on tyres at 45psi as recommended by the manufacturer.

Maybe the manager of the garage was wheely offended by the accusations and got a bit General Grabber with the OP ? I hope he’s ok and not nursing two black circles and a remoulded face?!
