Currently running a Porshe 996 C2 with 235/35 R19 front tyres. Can you recommend tyre pressures as obviously these are non-standard

Thanks

The course of action I would choose would just be to inflate to manufacturers specifications at first, go out and do some “rapid but responsible” driving and get a feel for the car before adjusting as suits the cars handling best?

A better bet would be to read the tyre temperature with a pyrometer after a run. Hoter in ther middle = overinflated, two hot patches at the edges = not enough air, even temp = perfect pressure.
