it's like a sling shot when getting on the highway or passing other cars!

Nice, didn’t know this. How do i find the comfort tire pressure so i can adjust my tire pressure? Also how do i change this in the PCM?

thanks

30-32 PSI front
~35 PSI rear.

This is what I am running for comfort pressures.

Correct me if I am wrong? Seems to work well, handles nicely and the bumps are not harsh.

PCM = Vehicle, Setting, Tires, from here you can click comfort pressure.

You will get a tire pressure warning LOW if you exceed about 260 ish KMH. Aka they want the tires are performance or full pressure to be doing high speed travel.

Just know, it may take you 2 years to learn how to use the Radio/Sirius on this car. It is so totally confusing to me/us. I just learned, after 2 years, that only in the LIST mode can I use the actual round button to scroll up and down channels. Life changing learn! I'm so happy I finally figured this out as pressing back and forth channels on the screen wasn't fun (using Sirius). Otherwise, I'm totally in love with my car, can't wait to drive it 3.5 hours to Ocean City MD tomorrow for a fun weekend away. I take it everywhere, to the most dangerous areas in Washington DC, all over the region, I don't care, it's just a car, and 2 years later, no curb rash, it's basically, like new at 10000 miles, perfect. It's so so comfortable, much more comfortable than my wife's new BMW M5 Competition.

Seriously, you are going to be over the moon about your car when you get it.

Regarding tire pressures, even at the comfort pressures, I'd say the car rides a bit stiff even with the softer setting if it has Sport PASM and Cup 2. When I finish the current set of Cup 2, I plan to go back to Goodyears, since Cup 2 isn't a good tire for cold and/or wet conditions.

You inspired me to spend 15 minutes today playing with the computer in the car. I figured out how to customize the menu and program the two buttons. The interface with the car in now transformed, so much easier to do everything!

My first Porsche is my TTS (2023) and maybe this is a feature of ALL 911's, I don't know but I find the swiping of my hand over the front badge to open the frunk very handy....

Try it (not really, but don't) with the garden hose in your hand while washing the car

Is it normal for the Turbo S logo in the tach to not illuminated?
