Tire Pressure

Hey guys, yesterday I get in my car heading to a meeting in Boston in pouring rain and before I even move the red light flashes up on the dash: Low Tire Pressure. Something also came up on the Nav screens saying to carefully come to a stop, but that I could drive for 50 miles to get it fixed.

Anyhow, after a visual inspection (they all looked fine but do runflats ever look flat?) I reset the system. I then went to the nearest gas station to check the pressures. I admit, I've been lazy about checking the pressures because I thought that the car did that for me- evidently not. They were all in the low 30s. Going by the sticker on the door jamb, the fronts should be 39 and the rears 41. Again, none of them were close- is this what you guys have your stock RFT inflated to? I would RTFM but the guys at the dealer must have pulled it out of the trunk when it was in for service and forgot to put it back.

Thanks!
