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.

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

If you do a search on "Tire Pressure" on the Rennlist 996 Forum you get a lot of threads similar to this one... http://forums.rennlist.com/forums/ultimatebb.php?ubb=get_topic&f=5&t=001360 Pet theories can be a lot more dangerous than pets themselves.....

POST 2Original post

Ian, I find the factory recommended pressures fine - even in London. Despite my recent posts, I've just had fitted the Porsche 18" Turbo-look alloys (not the gross glossy ones!). I'm very happy with the ride - 36 psi front; 44 psi rear. However, I'm not (at the moment) planning to get the car lowered as it looks fine as it is with the stock C4 suspension.

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Thanks! Slightly nervous about the ride characteristics of the Turbo (due soon) and wondered if anyone had tried the 'soft option' I used to run most cars 2 lbs below the recommended pressure, but any improvement was probably imagination! The entire reason for this phobia is my hatred of the punishment the car has to take on so many roads nowadays - you can't even use the apex of a corner any more. As for Edinburgh...

POST 4 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Read an article in an American mag a while ago by an experienced track-day addict and amateur racer. He was absolutely emphatic that the factory-recommended 996 rear tyre pressures were far too high for normal road use. Worse roads in America? Hard to tell, but I never like to deviate much from factory figures. Anyone got any theories/facts about this?
