Mine already had the loaded software since delivery day.


call your dealer and schedule an appointment, they can do the update for you now. It takes about 5 hours.

OP if you want to go fast and you want to do it well, follow the drivers 2 cents from my earlier post, learn to drive with full load pressures, no excuses

The driver has more experience beyond 140 than most 992 drivers, including to 150+ with the top down, the driver thinks, definitely more than almost all beyond 160, the fastest the driver took their car was to 180+, the driver will go for 190+ eventually. The driver guesses their top speed is 191 with a C2S cab. The driver is brainstorming how to add parts to the body and things for stability and speed. The driver wonders if they can put fans on the car.

Anyways, if you want the driver's 2 cents, use full load pressures. Don't mess around with incrementally increasing the pressures. You also need to be in Sport+. You need to use the sport suspension. The comfort pressure guys don't do high-speed stuff outside of baby situations like track; they lack experience. Whoever tells you "it's going to be a lot after heating up" just ignore them; they don't go fast, slow opinion not important to this. The driver drives on the side of a mountain with sheer cliffs and deals with things like high-speed lateral winds regularly meaning if the driver didn't know what he was talking about he would be dead; baby track drivers lack the experience necessary to answer you.

By the way, check the weather. Porsche did not design the 992 for good performance on heavy lateral winds or something. Don't quote the driver; they don't care enough to know; they just drive.

Anyways, if you change to the driver's 2 cents and you're still moving to the side, you need to slow down and call it a day at that speed level. Step down until it's back to stable, and you're okay at speed. It's the weather, not you or the car (technically, it's the car because the car is not designed well for bad weather, but it's still the weather). Come back when the wind is good, same location, okay.

ps. driver say if u think grip goblin will strike and you feel about to go spin in a circle step down on speed same thing come back later ohn....... also ..... can switch to other side of road.........................ventusky for weather ... like if driver try drive in this area with high speed winds going in the wrong direction, porsche engineering would send driver off the road porobaly due to lateral wind or etc. . ... maybe u experience same ... check weather good
Erm, thanks for the info - I think. Are you referring to yourself in the third person?

Ok cool, we know what pressures “the driver” runs. What does “track driver” run?

That is what I run in my summer tires. That puts you at ~33/36 when up to temperature, I find it very comfortable and maximum grip. If you temperature varies in the spring a bit from cold to warmer. You can go up 2lbs in front and back to enable you not to have to worry about it.

But once the weather warms, I typically set them at 30/33 cold.

I run Comfort pressures, 29/32 (cold). Even run those at the track and autocross. Needs a little heat to settle in, but doesn't take long.

Same here. I use 29/32 psi Comfort pressures for daily driving and the same on track (goes up about 7-9 psi during track sessions).
I have an 2020 C2S right now and getting my GTS in a few weeks where I will use the same pressures.

GTS also has a tire temperature display. Displays whether tires are cold, coming up to operating temps, or at operating temps. I recall something in the manual that it's not strictly a tire temp sensor, but a combination of parameters it monitors. Curious to see how this behaves on the track.

Does Porsche publish comfort pressures anywhere?

Found it! Thank you.
So, this is what the owner’s manual reads:
