Tire Pressure Recommendations

Porsche recommends for 16" tires 36 psi (2.5 bar) front and 44 psi (3.0 bar) rear. For 17" tires, it's 36 psi (2.5 bar) front and rear. For 16" tires in the US, 44 psi is generally considered excessive, and some have found a lower pressure in the 38 - 39 psi range to work.  Street tire pressure is measured when the tires are cold.

The recommended tire pressure corresponding to the tires fitted when the car was originally delivered is listed on a sticker on the driver-side door jam.
