2004 Mazda MAZDA3 Tires Problems

“About one month after my purchase of my brand new MAZDA3, I checked the tire pressures. All 4 tyres were 50 PSI!! 18 PSI more than the recommended tire pressure and 6 PSI more than maximum allowable pressure. I could not believe that it might be possible, I made sure that the device was measuring accurately and also ask somebody else to check the tire pressure. Yes all four tires were 50 PSI.
