I would have thought at the pressure they were in danger of blowing off the rim, but I might be wrong on that.

Heres a tip - get a tyre pressure guage and a foot pump and check your tyres at home with a guage and pump that you trust. I never use the pressure guages / pumps at garage forecourts because I dont trust them to be consistent.
Car was only bought about 2 months ago, the front right is a completely different tyre to the other 3. I had nothing to do with the purchase of the car, therefore couldn't check it over.

Over inflation I would agree on blowing off the rim.

For two to read in roughly the same area of pressures says that they are nearish to consistent but I get what you mean mate.
