Default Correct Tire Pressure And Size

993 front tires are Bridgestone Potenza S-02 size is 205/50ZR17. Rear tires are Bridgestone Potenza RE050A size is 255/40R17

What are the correct cold tire pressures?

Are these the correct size tires for the cup wheels?

Thanks!

36 all four corners. Running different type tires front to back is not a good idea, though.

The sizes are correct.

Good luck.

If you do a search, you will find an awful lot of discussion re. tire pressures.

FYI, the 'recommended' pressures are too high . Most people settle around 36-38 rear, 32-36 front. Depends how hard you drive the car, alignment, tire type and wear pattern, and preference.
