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).

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.
