They can come in handy. Post #11.

Here's another possible (and interesting-looking and less-inelegant) TPMS solution: https://www.nonda.co/products/zus-sm...safety-monitor

I haven't tried it yet but have used several other Nonda Zus products and all are excellent.

They are running a $90 special now. I just ordered one.

Despite searching all over (RL and the web), I have yet to find solid and consistent advice for tire pressures for my 1995 993 C2.

Various things I've read say 36 square for 17s and something like 35F/44R for 18s.

Tires, which I believe are Michelin Super Sports, are:

235/40 ZR18
265/35 ZR18

Use case is normal street driving, no track.

Suspension is JIC-Magic, which I am likely going to replace.

Ambient temperature today is ~50* F.

Thanks so much.

What tires?
Why replace JiCs? I've ran Magic on the autocross appliance for 9 years and really liked them. Ended up going to Penskes, otherwise I'd stay with JiCs.

That's a great way to get your 18" wheels bent. No thanks!

I've been running 32F/36R for about 15 years on my 18" wheels on crappy SoCal roads, and not one bent rim yet. Just sayin'

Not sure why you feel this way, Eric. Those pressure are fine for those tires, in general. Though, it depends on a tire. A lot.

I believe tires are Michelin Super Sports.

I find the JIC Magic suspension to be incredibly bouncy, which I really don't like. Also, a person about whom some have said is amongst the most knowledgeable 993 guys in the country, knew as soon as I disclosed the suspension's name that they were known for being bouncy and didn't believe that could be adjusted away.

It's possible that JiC i not valved or sprung right for a 993. I had mine on another car with different springs, some re-valving and some massaging. I like them a lot, but this is all very car model-specific.

As far as pressures, I'd run 32/35 or similar with SuperSports they are fairly stiff and seem to be OK with mid-lower pressures.

PS. Happy Hanukkah!

I’ve used 34/38 for years now with the 993 18”. Very good setting and exactly the tire pressures recommended for the 997 19” summer tires partial load.
