Went to enterprise and rented a car that had literally 4 leaking tires and they filled them all up to 55 psi before handing the car over. This photo was taken after the 30 minute drive home.

Called and took the car back in for service only to get the same car, same 55 psi on all wheels, and same major leak in the rears. Went to another enterprise location to get a normal car instead 2 days later. Really took me back to my first car, but it’s a lot less fun when it’s not even yours and the “fix” is just dangerous overpressure.

    This Imperial shit is getting ridiculous.
    And the arrogance of expecting the rest of the world to understand it without converting to a more widely used standard is astounding.
    PSI = pounds per square inch.

    WTF Really? Anybody is using that? POUNDS PER SQUARE INCH!!! That’s what you are going with??
    Instead of the much simpler and way more intuitive bar which is based on atmospheric pressure.

    For anyone not using tribal Imperial 24 psi is 1.65 bar and 50 psi is 3.45 Bar.

        It’s not just different, it’s less intuitive, and it’s based on other obsolete units, and it is only used by a minority.
        I bet if some other country had their own national standards of measurement plastered all over the net, that you would be pretty annoyed by that too.
        But somehow USA doing this shit constantly is OK because AMERICA!!

        Americans are fucking annoying with their constant special pleading, it’s OK to post psi or other imperial units, but for fucks sake post the metric units too that the majority is using.

          Less intuitive for morons who never learned anything anyway.

          Are YOU going to pay for the conversion?

          Algeebea and Calc must’ve really sucked for you.

            What cost?

            I’m arguing to convert to metric when posting on an international forum, because metric is the international standard.
            But I’ll have you know that I often also post Imperial units when posting things that are in metric, because I know there are also a lot of Americans here. I’ve seen others do the same.
            But Americans very rarely do that. Hence the claim about American arrogance.

            Finally to make the car show bar instead of psi and use it for recommended tire pressure has no extra cost.
