I realize that there’s a sticker on the inside of the drivers door with tire inflation guidelines but IMO those are way too high. Those would be the MAXIUM recommended tire pressures, it's not the tire pressure that is best for comfort, handling and/or tire wear

I suspect most will drive with pressures around 33 Front / 38 Rear cold

When I took possession of my 992 last summer I was surprised to see pressures at 29/32. I bumped that a couple PSI front and rear and found it a good compromise on Montreal crappy roads

I can’t wait to take my 992 out of storage this Friday and curious to know :

1. What was your tire pressure at delivery
2. What PSI do you keep your tires
For my 2022 Turbo S Lightweight with OEM Pirelli PZero NA
Dealer changed menu setting to COMFORT and set warm pressure to 33 38
Next…for track day my friend who owns large independent P shop and is chief driving instructor POC in SoCal and is ex pro P race car driver said for track 32 -33 hot square which I ran at Willow Springs track day recently which worked fine
This hot track setting surprised me as 32 square is what I run hot for track days on my McLaren 600 LT and my Corvette GS with Goodyear 3R DOT semi slicks

CH61 I have a 992 Turbo S Lightweight that I track alot
For track with the OEM Pirellis or Goodyears HOT no more than 34 font 36 rear Actually 32 34 hot seems good also
For street depending on how rough your driving surfaces are most owners like no more than 36-38for comfort
The traditional 4 pound spread is not really necessary
Just totally Disregard the crazy high numbers on the door

Update :
For Turbo S : track hot 34 ft 37 rear on Goodyear F1 R street tires was recommended to me by one the fastest Porsche drivers coaches in CA
