Default Torque Settings

Hello fellow Boxster enthusiasts,

Just joined this forum and would like to know a few things for a first time autox event with my Boxster S.

What are the torque settings for the lug nuts on the 17" Boxster S wheels? 2002 model if that matters.

How much would you increase the tire pressures when cold for autoxing?

Has anyone experienced drastic tire wear on the Michelin Pilots from autoxing?

Any other Boxster specific recommendations for an autox?

96 - 98 ft\lbs. start with 32 front 36 rear with air pressures. Other then that if this is your first time just learn the course and have fun. There will be many more autox's to come.

I wonder how many people are going to attack you for not spelling BoxSter correctly. O...and have fun tracking your car.
