Right on. I put mine to 33/39psi cold. seems to be the general concensus.

MYC2SPC 03-26-2013 09:44 PM

33/39 on 20"s are just fine.

Depends on which Carrera. 997.2 cold pressure setting between C2 and C4 cars are not the same. 18" and 19" tires are slightly different cold pressure settings as well for C2 cars. 19" cold pressure setting listed below for "N" spec tires. Always set cold. Hope this helps you.

C4,C4S, Targa4/4S 19" Wheels (Summer or Winter Tires):

Partially Loaded (2 ppl w/o luggage) cold
Front 34 psi, Rear 37psi

Fully Loaded (2ppl w/luggage) cold
Front 37 psi, Rear 44 psi

C2, C2S 19" Wheels (Summer or Winter Tires):

Partially Loaded (2 ppl w/o luggage) cold
Front 34 psi, Rear 40 psi

Fully Loaded (2ppl w/luggage) cold
Front 37 psi, Rear 44 psi

Will any of these tire pressure combos help to reduce the "float" feel from the front end of the 997.2? My tires are 235/35-19 F (36 psi) & 305/30-19 R (42psi).

I run 37 front and 40 rear.

A little float, gonna go down to 35 front and see how it feels.

Thanks for the info, and let us know what you think of 35 in the front.

Went down to 36 front and 38 Rear...

Drove about 100 miles today.

Highway 100mph and above, switching lanes etc...

Mountain roads, Sport Mode haulin glass!

Didn't think once that the pressures were wrong!

Perfect!

I'll try 35 Front tomorrow, leavin the rears at 38.

I think I'll give 36F and 38R a shot. Post back if you prefer the 35F.

eldertec 04-14-2013 09:04 PM

Stayin with 36 front.
Feel more with more.
