944 REAR TYRE PRESSURES
Discussion
Recently got a 944S2 and was amazed at the recommended rear tyre pressure - 44 psi 
Thats more like motorcycle tyre pressures!! I double checked the owner's book with information on line and they tally up!
Anybody tried them with less to provide a slightly softer ride, maybe more grip?? The rears are 225/50 x 16". Even the recommend front pressures seem high to me, 36 psi. That's more than my other car, a Puegeot diesel.

Thanks for the advice so far - 36psi sounds more like it. However, any high speed cruising on German Autobahns would probably justify raising this, as mentioned.
The main problem was that the supply at my local Esso garage (free air
) struggles to get the tyres up to 44psi!! New compressor required methinks.
