Tire pressure query

Hello all, happy new year, well been happily inflating my tires at the nearest garage to me and doing so to spec for the tire size i have 17" 235.65

In bar I set for normal driving (90% of the time just me) 2.2 bar up front and rear...

Just so happened I was not near my local gas station and filled up at brand new garage, checked my tire pressure and it was 2.0bar according to their machine....so pumped upo to 2,2 and out of curiostiy checked at another gas station and again 2.2bar, so seems my local gas station compressor erading is wrong and i have for years been underinflating!

Dangers I guess are tires overheat and blow? and out of curiosity what if I inflate to 2.3 or 2.4 bar for example instead of 2.2?
