boxster tire pressure

I recently purchased a used 2001 boxster and notice the front tire pressure to be exactly half of what is mentioned in the book 14.5 psi on each tires in the front and 18 psi on each tires on the back.

The Manual states 29 for the front and 36 for the rear. I think it mean the psi is for each tires and not the sum of both tires

What should it be ?

Thanks

Tire pressure is for each individual tire. It is not summed. Follow what your owner's manual says for each tire.
