Just had three tyres replaced recently. When I went to check my tyre pressures yesterday, I noticed that the new ones were inflated to 30 PSI. I had been running mine a little higher, but not that high. They are SO3s, and the max is 44 psi.

Any feedback?

My handbook says 22 front and 24 rear, I usually do them 1 or 2 beyond this (more for track). Sounds like yours are way too high! Bumpier ride, less grip and plenty of tread left on the edges of your tyres!
Saying that, they are low pressures compared to other cars but they are lighter than other cars and use high performance tyres.
