Hi all. what psi do I need in front and rear of my 996.
Im running a 120/70/17 front and 190/50/17 rear.

Just checked rear and there is 42psi in the rear.
Thanks. Ian.

I reckon 34-36 for road use - 42 is too high.
When the tyres are fitted, they are often overinflated to ensue they fit.

Thanks Tim. Much appreciated. I will go and adjust.

Slightly different to Tim, 33-36psi, agree 42psi to high.
