Go with the same tire pressure on all tires, 32-36. The 29 front pressure is to induce understeer, which exactly what you want to get rid of in a Boxster.

As Joe B said check on the sticker inside the gas fill cover assuming you want to do run the recommended tire pressure! It really comes down to preference, for street use I tend to do F32 and R34, and on the track F34 R36. :-)

YEP... Although to Porsche's credit, most drivers probably need understeer to keep them from getting ahead of themselves.

I run 35 all around mostly. Cuts down on the rattles too.

I would love to hear your theory on how this works!
