I am having different views between the people who replaced my tyres and the Porsche manual, on the pressures.
My car is a 2006 boxster s with Bridgestone 265/ 35 ZR 19 (94Y) tyre size

The manual says 37psi all round and tyre dealer says 32psi?

Any thoughts appreciated thanks.
 
For 19 inch tyres the correct pressure is 32 psi or 2.2 bar for the fronts and 36 psi or 2.5 bar for the rears.
 
Well the tyre dealer is wrong whatever the Boxster model.

However I'm also confused by your manual - all Boxsters whether 986 or 987 (including your model) up to the Gen 2 cars are 29F 36R on all tyre sizes up to 18", and 32F 36R on your 19".
The 2010 Gen 2 models are 30F 31R up to 18" and 32F 34R on 19" wheels.

Many owners do experiment with varying the pressures a little, but unless you have a need to do so then stick with the stock pressures.

The tyre company did use Porsche approved "N" marked tyres didn't they?
 
Gah - I evidently spent more than 15 min checking details and typing the above - beaten by Nick in the meantime [:D]
 
Even I had trouble, the dealer tech info is 31/37 whereas the owners manual is as above. I always remember it in bar 2.2/2.5. I think it's just the conversion. btw for 17 and 18 it's 2.0/2.5 for the 2006 model.
