30 lbs. is cold, startup, pressure. They will get warmer as you drive and maybe get up to 32-33 lbs.+ depending on the outside ambient temperature and type of driving you do. Remember to check them a few times a year as the temps change, you may have to add more air in the colder months to keep them at the right pressure.

Mine might be just slightly off, but not 5+ PSI off. Maybe it's your tire gauge which might be the problem. Have you tried other gauges?
