Do you think I should drop the front tires down to 30, seems awful low?
Would appreciate any feedback on either issues, the tire pressure and especially the Homelink.
Thanks!
Can't help you with the homelink but tire pressure on these cars is important. For mine, a 986 S, the pressure calls for 29 front & 36 rear. They do heat up quite a bit when driving and the pressure will increase so be careful about over pressurizing the front more than a couple of lbs when cold. I think you will find that handling is best when filled to spec.

Thanks paulofto, Yes I think you are correct, Porsche probably knows better than I what the tire pressures should be. I'm thinking its best I go with 30 in the front.
