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.

I have a 99 996. 18" My r are 45 and f are 40. Doing all street driving. Any suggestions on dropping them down a little.
I was thinking, r 43 f 40.

Lower them down to whatever suits your driving preferences and setup. There is no wrong or right. For example, I'm found 34f/38r to be best for my GT3 CO setup.

Alpi, honestly, I've been thinking about lowering the pressure a bit. LA streets are rough, so the current set-up is a bit bouncy. But I'd hate for lower pressure to damage the wheel..... because the streets are ****. Also, with the current set-up, I'm noticing more wear in the center of the tire vs. the margins.
I find 37psi in the rear for oe tire size gives most even wear assuming minimum load of driver only. 38-40 in front depending on balance quality & road quality. 235/40/18 gives a little more protection for rims.
If you stay above 35, you should be ok. I've seen my fair share of potholes living in Chicago and haven't had any issues.
I get a lot more mechanical grip having lowered the rear, especially around mid-corner bumps which cars tend to encounter more often on the streets.
