Schoolboy Question - 997.2 Tyre Pressures

[dibblecorse]

I have a 997.2 GTS with the standard 19" centrelocks and Michelin Pilot Sport 4's fitted, what should my cold weather pressures be ?

The currently seem to be sat at:

Fr: 28 PSI
Rear: 32 PSI

Seems off to me and can't find conclusive numbers and the cars too dirty to read the sidewalls in the dark !!!

I know, I'm a numpty

Why would you read the sidewalls? Pressures on the sidewalls are not specific to that car.
Tyre pressures for your car are usually printed on the body inside the door or on the inside of the fuel filler cap
Can’t be more specific as I only know 996 tyre pressures!

I did say I'm a numpty .. was looking for owners guidance for cold weather pressures ....

I have never seen recommendations for different tyre pressures in cold weather. Normally the advice is to check that they remain the same as pressure will drop naturally in cold weather, so you need to top up in winter and maybe bleed pressure in the spring or summer.

This.

Until you find out any better, I'd go up to 32f 36r at least. That shouldn't kill you, nor damage the tyres.

I ran mine at 39 psi rear, 33 psi front

Topically, our 991.2 Turbo S had two low pressure warnings today having not used it since November. I know a bit OT but the book suggested 34 and 43?

Seems a lot higher than the above?

Got Bridgestones on mine. Running 305 section rears.

Currently run 33 front and 37 rear and have done for past 6 years.

It's what the sticker inside the door suggests.

As above, 33F 37R is printed on your ns door sill and I find these cars to be extremely sensitive to tyre pressures (and geo). Your current tyre pressures would be way too low at the start of a trackday, let alone road driving.

Cheers all, will get out there tomorrow and get them sorted.

Are the details not on the reverse of the fuel filler flap too?
