Just checked my tyres and the 2 fronts one are 44psi, one on the back is 36psi and the other back one is 51 psi!
is this safe? do i need to replace them so theyre all the same?

Replace? No not at all.
Just change the pressures on a pump...either deflate or inflate which ever is needed..

Deffo need to go and deflate the 51psi! tyre. I had some new tyres fitted, went to check the PSI just now and thats the readings i got. Surely the garage should've checked this?

Tyre pressures should be on a sticker inside the door shut.
Check pressures when tyres are cold.
Usually pressures are different front & rear.

32 front 30 rear i think, just deflate accordingly. theres no need to replace the tyres at all

You dont need to buy a guage just use the one attachd to the airline at the garage.
I prefer to use a digital guage as they are generaly more accurate.

If my tyres are at sat 40psi and wanted them at 32psi could i set the one at the garge to 32psi and would it let air out?
