Tyre pressures

I am interested to find out what tyre pressures owners of Gen 1 C2 997s are using.

I have some experience of a numbers of sporty/sports cars (including a Westfield with fully adjustable suspension) and the difference that even small changes to tyre pressures can make to the ride and handling.

I have been experimenting with my 997 and would love to hear the experience of others on the forum.

For information, I am currently running mine 2psi lower at the front and 1psi lower at the back which seems to work well on our varying and low quality road surfaces - decent compromise between ride and handling.

Thanks,

Ravi
 
I run standard 34/40 psi; suffering lack of courage to try anything else. I can’t seem to find it now, but I seem to recall an excellent article posted on the forum with in the last year that went into details on the effects of various tyre pressures on the handling. Hopefully, someone can repost the link.

There's a bit [link=http://www.porscheclubgbforum.com/tm.asp?m=678917]here[/link] on handling and tyre pressures - not sure if that's the one you mean. Regards, Clive.
 
Thanks both. I've just done over 1000 miles on a road trip up through England and Scotland on some of the best driving roads in the country - Peak District, Yorkshire Dales, Trossachs, Cairgorm National Park - and the 997 was supreme on the very slightly lower pressures [:)] Amazing ride comfort on our broken surfaces, loads of grip and wonderful, feelsome handling [:D] I'll post more details of the trip sometime soon. Cheers, Ravi
