993 Wheel nut torque / Continental tyres directional?

[stuartanthony]

Quick question pls.. anyone know factory torque setting for 993 wheel nuts?

Also, have purchased a set of Cup 2 wheels complete with Contisport tyres. The rears are directional. The fronts appear to have a directional tread pattern, however they dont mention direction and the tyres stragely have 'outside' marked on them, indicating to me that the tyres are not directional.

Any help gratefully received

That would imply they're asymetrical; the tyre's construction is such that the manufacturer wants a particular sidewall/portion of the tread on the outside where the cornering forces are greater. Pirelli has this on some of their tyres as well.

Happy to help.

P-car.com is like the bible for 993 owners. I agree it's an absolutely superb site.
