I have a digital pressure gauge - so should I use that to check pressures when filling with air to ensure its accurate ?

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

Suggestion

36 all round is for 17 inch wheels - see the sticker on the passenger door or the manual - 18 inch recommended pressures are 36 front 44 rear "MINIMUM" pressures according to the Porsche handbook, if you travel regularly at over 100 mph the centrifugal force on the tyre will cause the centre of the tread to bulge - so you need higher pressures with 18's to keep the tread area flat to the road - otherwise the centre of the tread will wear faster than the outside and also you will have reduced grip.

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 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I know this subject has been covered before, but I have a 996 C2 with 18" Carrera's & have heard lots about tyre pressures. Some say use factory pressures, I have heard 36 all round a few times. Any thoughts on this - tried & tested pressures anyone can reccomend ? I have also heard that garage air pumps are not accurate. I have a digital pressure gauge - so should I use that to check pressures when filling with air to ensure its accurate ? Thanks Julian. Migration info. Legacy thread was 9340

POST 2Original post

Julian, Don't know about the 996, but my 993 has 18's and I've got them at book pressure. Get yourself a good gauge, and always check the tyres when they're cold. Migration info. Legacy thread was 9347
