Suggestion
Obviously, if you're fully laden going on a long trip, you should check the pressure with the tyres at ambient temp and whilst at that weight before progressing with your journey, but Porsche say the should still be 36/44.
Leading evidence: 'width of them (nearly 12")' (1 discussions report identifying this cause; no attributable repair resolution). Across 1 matching discussions, the most frequently mentioned possible cause is 'width of them (nearly 12")' (1 discussions; 1 report identifying it and 0 suggest it). The most frequently discussed action is 'Check pressure' (1 discussions). For that action, 0 discussions report a resolution and 0 report an unsuccessful attempt. No action has an explicit, attributable resolution report under the current rules. These are forum reports and suggestions, not a confirmed diagnosis.

What is the correct tyre pressure for one person driving and what are others using on the 996tt.

It's been a while since this subject was discussed but there are numerous threads about it - all easily accessible by using the Search Forum function.
These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

On the 996 tt the illustrated tyre pressures on the car are:
36 Fronts
44 Rears
I have heard that these are for 4 people in the car with luggage. Is this correct.
I am always alone in the car and find the ride hard and tend to lose front grip, even though I have Cup 2 tyres on the front.
What is the correct tyre pressure for one person driving and what are others using on the 996tt.
Thanks :thumbs:

Interestingly I found this one that seems to have involved you at the time. :wink:
Enjoy the refresh.

Of course, new contributions and opinions are always welcome.
The tyre pressures are shown on the label just inside drivers door and identifies partly and fully loaded pressures
The lesser values are the correct ones in the case of your query ...
I don't think there's any value for ' only' driver .....
32F, 40R works for me in my C4S on MPS2 tyres. Looks like it's wearing the tyres pretty evenly over the last 5000miles of driving. If anything it may be still slightly wearing the middles and I mostly drive B roads. They might need to come down a tad more.
The middles on the rears will wear more. This is due to the width of them (nearly 12"). At speed the centrifugal force pushes the middle out and creates greater force between rubber and tarmac, thus wearing it more in the middle. This is not due to over inflation and perfectly normal for this width and profile tyre.
Thanks,
Obviously an additional 3 people (180kgs) will have an impact on the weight of the car as its 15% of the total weight of the and therefore tyre pressures. 10% reduction makes sense to me.
I will try 36/44 when the sun comes out.
Would be interesting to hear from others.
:thumbs:
There's not many adults weigh under 9 1/2 stone. :grin:
The figures Porsche quote are not for 4 people and luggage, they are a general fixed value for all conditions. Even each variant varies in weight but Porsche still claim pressures should be that value. Obviously, if you're fully laden going on a long trip, you should check the pressure with the tyres at ambient temp and whilst at that weight before progressing with your journey, but Porsche say the should still be 36/44.
