Default Tire pressure for PZero?

Hi all. Asking for a friend. What are daily (light load) tire pressures for PZeros in a 991.2 GTS? Sticker shows the rears at 45 cold.

Comments greatly appreciated.

Read the manual under "comfort settings", or search here for dozens of posts suggesting 32-36 (+/-2 , cold). Try it, you'll like it.

30/32 in the summer here warms up to about 35/36 and I prefer warm pressure around 35/36. I’ve noticed these tires on 991.2 are really sensitive to gradual increases in tire pressure and my preference has been 35/36 warm.

Tire brand usually doesn't affect the recommended tire pressure with OEM style tire and rim sizes.

A few pounds above "comfort" is good for me.

Download the Porsche "Good to Know" app, it puts all sorts of information on your smartphone and at your fingertips.

A little on the low side will provide better grip and on a little on the high side will give you a longer tire life: I run mine at 33/38 and have pretty good roads in my area.

No difference between manufacturers. Use the car/manufacturer recommended pressures.

Currently using the partial load for summer tire from the mfd. no issues. Drove around for 1200 miles on full load rating with a passenger and luggage and that too was ok.

I've been doing 33.5 fronts, 42.5 rears lately (17 C4S, PZeros). That is my ride quality versus handling compromise not worrying about other owner's preferences. Just had my 4 yr service 2 weeks ago and was told tire wear is great across all tires with <3,000 miles on fronts and rears. I drive fast on highways but don't hot rod it much and most of my driving is on higher speed roads - highways and Interstates. Lots of great Porsche highways here in TN to air it out!
