Mine are the same on all corners at “2 person” loading.

When it’s “2 person + luggage” then the rears get 4 psi more and the front get 2 psi more:

What brand tyres have you got on your Turbo?
My car is also a Turbo Sedan MY 20, but different spec on the tyres. XL stated but same speed rating and my tyres are the Good Year F1 Eagle.

The size is the same and I have the MissionE wheels.

Why the difference?

So the tyre pressure seems both dependent on the dimensions of the tyre as well as the brand? Pirelli vs Good Year?

I had not thought that would influence and I guess that could influence wear on a tyre as well. The TPMS in the car only relates to summer, winter and tyre size??

I guess that is something to be aware of when switching tyre brands?

Guilty as charged!
Absolutely but you never stated that you had 20 inch tyres

I hope the brand doesn’t affect the pressures as I wouldn’t know what pressure to use if I changed tyres.

I’ve actually walked away and left the car “on” and unlocked.

Guess who’s been driving a Tesla for years…

I have done the same, but with the door open . . .

1. Anyone else had problems with Porsche Vehicle Tracking system (or other connect systems) not renewing (payment taken) and being stuck in 'being activated' limbo?

2. Porsche mechanics know more about the cars than me. Any idea why they'd pump all of the tyres (after unconnected warranty work) up to the same pressure when car settings/plate saying the rears should be 4 psi less?

3. Is there an auto-lock function for the car. Just noticed it had been open overnight

1 - Not experienced that with my 4S. New process with my GTS (MY23) works well and no need now either for dealer intervention to pair the fobs to the car (MY21) simply sign up and go. Automated service too for theft notification and action steps.

2. No reason at all.

3. No function exists while the car is stationary.

The car would though as long as you update PCM to rim size and tyre type. Brand not relevant.

Luckily the car powers off after 30 mins.

Possibly due to pattern of wear on and between fronts and rears? Suggest you ask them.

Unless Porsche changed something between the model years, or there is some regional difference, evidently the brand of the the tyre does have different pressures on the same rim / tyre size for the same model of car.

The tyre label on the car will be for the OEM fit - any others could well be different, yeah.

6 week waiting list to ask questions.

Yes, I realized after a minute or so.

believe it or not, the driver door opening and closing automatically, and the ability to open and close any door easily from the touchscreen, are the features I miss most from my Tesla. So simple to do. I wish Porsche would. Not on a 911, but perfect for Cross Turismo.

Only the trunk or frunk (to a limited extent) - a gadget too far IMHO for any other doors.
