928 tire pressure

what kind of tire pressures are you guys running. The manual for my car says 36 psi front, 44 rear. I have been running 32 psi front and back.

I recently tried upping my tire pressure to 36/44. Let me tell you about it. with 44 psi in the rear, the back stepped out on me in a wild fashion, resulting in a spectacular spinout. I am trying to fix the small crack in my front spoiler now as a result of a little off road excursion.

In my opinion, If you like the feeling of driving on wet pavement when it's dry, try using 44 psi on your rear tires.

Now my tires are back to 32 psi front and rear

depends on tire size and manufacturer's guidelines.

if your running anything close to the stock tires sizes (16's), your 32lbs is probably fine, certainly no more that 35lbs.

more than that, and you'll burn up the center of the tire tread area.

less than that, and you'll eat up the sides.

it's that easy....

good luck.

Lots of cars suggest a higher than normal pressure for high speed driving, maybe Porsche just assumes thats what you are doing?
