36-44 tire pressure?

just go into the TPM screen of your MF display ...select tire size and summer or winter tire type , and " comfort " ...then scroll up to fill info and it will tell you exactly how much air you need to add or bleed off for each tire at that moment ....it is that simple ....the fill directive automatically adjusts for the ambient garage temperature , but you still have to final set above or below that if the outside temp is much higher in summer or esp , much lower ( in winter ) than the garage temp.
checking / unchecking those two boxes requests one of the 4 sets of psi possibilities for the fill function
the computer knows which model you are driving : base, S, GTS, Turbo, RWD vs AWD , etc...each of which has different comfort psi recommendations ....pretty cool...no need to look at a cross reference chart ( there is one ) or in your manual !

Ride feels ok, def a bit firm, but ok.

Ice Skates!
I have been running 32-34 PSI all summer and wondered why people didn't like the Pzeros. After thanksgiving I prepped the car for hibernation and maxed the tire pressures. This past weekend was sunny and warm in CT so I took the C2 for a spin, with tire pressure about 36 front 44 rear. It was like wearing ice skates! Wheelspin everywhere all the time! I'm definitely going back to 'comfort' settings in the spring! I suspect the tire pressure is just another trick the factory uses to get emissions down and mileage up, just like the stop start, and the non-sport default setting.

starter, battery, alternator .....even if they are " beefier " , no way can that compensate for 1-4 starts a day vs as many as several dozen !

I have given up trying to run comfort pressures. Every time I bring the car to the shop they refill them to the 36 44. And every time I forget to tell them to use lower pressures.
Since the dealership is the I only place around here in that I know of to get the car detailed, this happens all the time.

I'm a "list" kind-of-guy. Always writing lists.
So, when I go to the shop/dealership for service, I hand them "my list".
2 things on that list never change and are always there from my computer template. They are:
1) do not wash
2) do not adjust tire pressures
It's as simple as dat!
PS- I give my wife lists too. It does not go over so well. Oh well.

And yes Porsche does and recommends all kinds of stuff that has nothing to do with - or even degrades- performance. See: break-in, turbo's, "Sport" button...
