Tires: Yokohama tires for Maxima-99, yokohama tires, psi max


Question
Recently Mr. Tire shop have put a new set of Yokohama tires on my Maxima-99. I have selected the tires per recommendation of the shop-provided computer. As I took the car from the shop door, I noticed that the tires look underinflated (large flat area to contact ground). The pressure I measured was 32 PSI, which corresponds to the car's recommended one. So, here is the question: what is wrong, the tire type recommended by the computer  for this car or Nissan's recommended pressure?
Also, would it be OK (for common situation driver-only, no-load) to inflate the tires to their spec of 35 PSI max, cold?
Thank you

Answer
Michael,

There is probably nothing wrong - except the way it looks.  The way a tire looks doesn't necessarily correspond to the way it performs.

And it would be OK to inflate to 35 psi - in fact that would be recommendation even without considering your concern.
