Guys,

What are the recommended tyre pressures for the standard bridgestones on a 997.1 turbo.

thanks

Isn't there a sticker on the inside of the driver's door slam with that information?

Yep.

2.3 front 2.7 rear.

I found pressures rise 2-3 psi during normal driving, so watch out for that. interestingly the TPM system seems to adjust for that as it reads the relative pressure the same irrespective of whether tyres are cold or hot.

Or 33f 39r in English

The OP clearly isn't too bothered about acquiring the correct pressures, either that or has flown off the road somewhere never to be heard of again!

All tyre pressures rise when the tyre gets warm. Tyre pressure should be done when the Tyre is cold :.

Ha no I was adding air to the tyres then took the loooooong way back.


Thanks guys BTW.

Yeeeesss...I was pointing out by how much for this specific model of car, which might be of mild interest to owners. YMMV of course.

That's not quite what I was pointing out. I found it interesting the TPM over/under-inflation reading appears to adjust for temp. Not sure how. That may not however be of interest to you.

Bottom line: Don't trust the TPMS
