Default Excessive Road Pressure on new PSS - what to do?

I recently had a set of PSS put on my 06 C2S. When they were installed the shop told me that sometimes it takes a while for them to fully round out after installation, and to come back in 2 weeks to have the balance checked. So I went back and had them checked as was told that there was excessive road force on on of the front tires. They adjusted the positioning of the tire on the rim (I guess rotated the tire round to a different position on the rim?) and told me that that it was now within tolerances. I was told that if I experience any vibration, to come and swap out for a new tire under warranty.

I am not feeling any vibration, so does that mean all is well? Or is there still likely to be an issue with the tire? Any help appreciated !!! Thanks

At this point my guess is that you are OK. Sometimes, when the tires have been worn significantly they can get out of balance again bu if they are good now I would not worry about it. Cold tire pressure should 33 psi fronts and 39 psi rears.

Did you get the car aligned when you had the new tires put on?
