Our GLA runs on 235,R19,45 tyres. According to the sticker on the inside of the fuel flap, they should always be inflated to 300kpa, which according to me is 3 bar or 43ish psi. This seems very high for such a wide tyre, especially as I have found other online resources that recommend 34 to 36 psi. I'm suspecting a mis print on the sticker...

Grateful for any advice

Tyre pressures tend to be higher on the newer vehicles to give better fuel economy. The sticker will be correct

As above but I run all my cars slightly lower for better ride and just be vigilant on wear across the tread
