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.

On my 996 it also reccomends 36-44 as have all carreras since 1990....i run 35 41 which makes it a little more comfortable...yet handles fine.

My 993 C2 is currently runing on 16 inch wheels (this may change) but for the moment, I'd be glad to hear experiences re the right tyre pressures.

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.

5 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1Original post

Try 36psi cold all round. Worked fine on my C4. Melv

POST 2Original post

Melv wasn't that a 964 ??? For road use It would be ok to drop a couple of pounds,but would really go below 40 at the back. Track work is different as with the heat generated and weight distributed at the back end the pressures go up on a 911 generally. Play around but don't go too low as you may affect the handling or tyre wear characteristics. On my 996 it also reccomends 36-44 as have all carreras since 1990....i run 35 41 which makes it a little more comfortable...yet handles fine.

POST 3Original post

I stick to 36/44 with 18" wheels because I don't want to risk damaging a wheel on one of the many potholes, lumps and bumps around here. Running lower pressures increases the chances of damage with lower profile rubber. It's probably less important with more tyre sidewall to soak up the impact though. I did try lower pressures all round for a while, but it didn't really help the ride, and the fuel consumption suffered, so I switched back again.

POST 4Original post

964, 993 -they're all the same, aren't they? Try it!! We're just trying to help here. ;-) Melv

POST 5 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

My 993 C2 is currently runing on 16 inch wheels (this may change) but for the moment, I'd be glad to hear experiences re the right tyre pressures. The handbook's recommended 36/44 seems way too high -- and I know there's been much discussion about this on rennlist but I'd like to hear from PHers...
