[Bridgestone] adjusted to 36 all around on their gauge, but car shows 38 front and 35 back. At this stage, I would not be concerned about Bridgestone pressures and your car's TPMS dash display. If you recall in one of my posts I explained that the dash display does NOT show tenths of a psi so, therefore, it is possible that your tyre is as high as 35.9 ps(!)...so no worry imo. Of more importance, imo, is that you [still] need to get a quality tyre gauge if you are concerned about running correct tyre pressure. Buy a gauge. Practice using it on your tyres so you master connecting the gauge to the tyre valve without losing air. Once mastered, take your COLD tyre pressures. Activate your car's TPMS dash display and compare the two sets of readings. Record those readings. Do the same with HOT tyre pressures. You then know what difference in psi there is between your gauge and the car. For me, 1~2 psi difference between the two is not a concern. When it gets to 3+ psi I would start to take notice. When I did this COLD/HOT test a while back with my car, my tyre gauge confirmed that the dash display was accurate to within 1 psi (whereas I believe others have not been so close). When I spoke with Hyundai last week, she said there’s a button to reset TPMS, but my i30 doesn’t have. Even Bridgestone looked for it lol.Yeah well, I would be surprised if you did have a TPMS reset button. Check your Owners Manual, it's covered in there. I believe your TPMS is an automatic relearn system for when a TPMS sensor has been replaced, not for tyre inflation.
Sorry for the late update. Went back to Bridgestone about a week after my last post and they adjusted the pressures, front avg 36 and rear avg 34.I don’t have a fancy gauge but it does the job. No huge discrepancies.
Geez Terry.That's a bit harsh.
TBH I’ve never noticed the like button [Well, a bit surprising to hear, but ok], so I apologise for that. [Ok, something learned then]Secondly, I don’t log on here regularly, plus I don’t get notifications for replies. I’m sure there’s a setting someone that I need to check. [I don't think it was about you not getting notifications, as such, so that wasn't an issue with me]Apologies if you feel I’ve dicked you around. [Thank you, apology accepted]. I used to ask my father for help with car stuff, but he passed in November [I am sorry to hear that, my condolences] so now I seek advice from Google and here [like I said, there will be people here that will help you].

This morning I looked long and hard at all of the posts on this thread that were trying to help this lady and how this whole saga has played out. It was like pulling teeth. But if you can show me where I have been wrong or inaccurate in my summation, I'll happily retract my post.

I just don't think it was necessary.I didn't feel you knew all the circumstances before you posted.And, given Vanessa's reply I think I was right.My compliments to her for a well balanced reply.
