my tyre pressure is under my frunk. And, as tire "tyre" manufacturing changes, so could optimum pressure. AND, what kind of driving you are doing...AND different brands of tires with different rubber characteristics. I'm running the factory spec tyres, whatever they are, Bridgestone? Firestone? Anyway, factory tires and 30/36. It rides rougher for sure, corners better. If I drop it to 26/32. Smoother ride but then the suspension doesn't feel as tight. Due to squishy tyres.

There have been no changes to recommended tire psi for 986's since they were 1st made in 1996, assuming recommended tire sizes are used.
