About tyre pressures.

When I ordered my CS the car was ordered with 19" wheels. Due to a mistake the car was delivered with 18" wheels from the factory. So the dealer replaced the 18" with the correct 19" the day I picked the car up. Now, the technical tag on the driver's side door jamb says that the tyre pressure for the standard 18" tyres should be 34psi front and 37psi rear. That however is for the 18" wheels. Is it the same for the 19"? Can some one that ordered and received the car with 19" wheels, check the tag on your car? I wonder if the tag is different when the car is delivered with 19" wheels. Are the pressures the same

Thanks.

You might want to consult with your Owner's Manual. The '06 version on page five has this:
19 inch wheels front 32 psi (2.2 bar) rear 36 psi (2.5 bar)

The door tag on my 07 has pressure rating recommendation for both 18" & 19" tires. I assumed that all the 987's had the same tag.

My Cayman came with 17" wheels and a door tag for 18" wheels. My owner's manual give the same tire pressures for both.

My '08 Cayman came with 17" wheels. The door tag says 30/37, but the owners manual says 29/36 for 17" & 18" and 32/36 for 19". Strange that the door tag and manual are different.

Almost every European car/motorcycle I have ever owned gives one pressure on the door tag/frame and a different pressure in the manual.
