Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

jeeez, well i just had both rear wheels balanced at jct in leeds and both rear tyres are 36.5 psi - would they have checked the tyre pressures when balancing the wheels?

I've got to say that quite a lot of 'experts' set the pressures 36/36 on 18" wheels on the 911, I assume because these are the factory settings for 17" wheels....

These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Coverage and how to read this overview

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.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Just doing my regular tyre pressure checks (!) er not, anyway, my manual says 44psi for the rear and 36psi for the front for cold tyres. Have I read that right! What do you guys recommend?

POST 2Original post

That is correct for the 18" wheels. Most 993 owners run 2psi or so down.

POST 4Original post

I've got to say that quite a lot of 'experts' set the pressures 36/36 on 18" wheels on the 911, I assume because these are the factory settings for 17" wheels.... and the experts don't bother to read the manual or the BIG sticker on the LHS door. :dont know:

POST 5Original post

Yes - you have read right. In the Targa I had the fronts at 32 and the rears at 40. We had a thread about 996 tyre pressures a few months back and AFAIK many of us in the forum ran them at under OEM settings. I myself used to have them as per OEM but this made for a rock hard ride (and a very rattly roof). ~ Maxie

POST 6 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

interesting ..... i've opted for cold pressures of 40 rear and 36 front and i'll see how i get on with that for a week or two. Thanks for the advice guys.

POST 7Original post

When I first got my 996, I ran the pressures 2psi under for a softer ride but found they wore unevenly. Since then have stuck to recommended pressures [36/44] and get a lot more milage from them. I have a TPMS fitted and the pressures will vary greatly depending on the temp and driving style. TB
