Suggestion

As Porsche don’t recommend fitting 19”s on a 996 hence there are no recommended pressures, but the pressures for the 997 is a good starting point, but I wouldn’t drop them much from that.

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

Can anyone advise on the optimum tyres pressures for a 996 C2 running on 19"rims ? 33 /39 psi seems a tad high to me ?

POST 2Original post

Hi Paul As Porsche don’t recommend fitting 19”s on a 996 hence there are no recommended pressures, but the pressures for the 997 is a good starting point, but I wouldn’t drop them much from that. Good luck Andy

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Thanks Andy . I have not had the car long so still getting used to it. I must admit the 19's do look great though.

POST 4Original post

You'll probably need to experiment a bit. I have run 19" on my 1998 996 C2 for over 5 years (235/35/19 and 265/35/19 N rated Bridgestones) and tried various combinations. Although I've tried lower pressures, because of the potholes around where I live I put the pressures up this summer to 36psi for front and 44 psi for rear. This actually resulted in the best "feel" on the road and I'll be keeping to those pressures for the future although I may go a bit lower if the weather gets bad over the winter.

POST 6 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Thanks all for the info... I assume all these pressures are cold ? Steve, 36/ 44 psi seems quite high ? no wear issues ?

POST 7Original post

I run 19 TechArt rims on my Turbo . I have found 36 front and 44 rear the best so far . All pressures taken cold Regards Mike
