Hey Guys,

I need to check something with you as I'm super confused.

My RWD Taycan has 20" Turbo Wheels and arrived from the factory with 38psi pumped to all 4 tires. Last week I took my car to the dealership for a routine check and they deflated the tires to 32-30 psi during the check. When I drove the car I immediately felt the difference, the steering was heavy, and the tires looked like they were kind of flat. I called the dealership about this and they said that they've corrected the pressure according to the standards. I checked the tire pressure sticker under the driver's door and Porsche really recommends 32-30 psi:

Is this really normal? 32-30 PSI for such a heavy performance car both sounds and feels wrong. What pressure you guys are keeping your Taycans at?

Let me know!

I always run my tires at full load pressure, on the Taycan 20" it is 33PSI front and 38PSI rear. (These pressures apply to cold values).

If setting when hot, add 3-4 degrees to the temp. (36-37 front and 39-40 rear)

For example on my 992 Carrera the OEM pressures for the 20" front is 35PSI and the 21" rear is 45PSI.

I sent them at 38PSI hot in front and 48PSI hot in rear.

Cold for me might be a little different for someone else than me since I live in HI and it rarely gets below 70*

The Porsche "Good to Know" app (online manual) has all of the details on how to set the air pressure correctly.
