Tires

WM 4405IN Wheels and tires/tire pressure

Wheels, tires: visual inspection for damage
Check tires for sufficient tread depth, foreign bodies, pricks, cracks and bulges in the sidewall (ply breakage).

Check age of the tires. Replace tires if necessary.

Checking wheel mounting
Use suitable commercially available tools (wrench size 19 mm) together with a tested torque wrench, covering the range up to 130 Nm (96 ftlb.). Never use an impact bolter.

Do not undo the wheel bolts to check whether they are secure. Tighten the wheel bolts to 130 Nm (96 ftlb.) and check that they fit securely.

Tire pressure for cold tires (approx. 20°C)

Danger
Tire damage due to insufficient tire pressure in conjunction with driving at high speeds, due to tires that are too old and/or tires which do not meet Porsche requirements.
^ Increased risk of accidents.

--> Adjust the tire pressure according to specifications. Never allow the pressure to fall below the minimum pressure.
--> Carry out a visual inspection and check tire age. Replace tires older than 6 years.
--> Use only tires recommended by Porsche.

Note
^ Valve caps protect the valve from dust and dirt and therefore from leaks! Always screw caps tight and replace any missing caps.

Part load applies to up to 2 persons without luggage. Full load applies to more than 2 persons with luggage.

Information
^ Spare wheel/collapsible wheel not available! However there is a tire repair kit in the luggage compartment which can be used to repair the tire in the event of damage!
^ For repairs in the event of damage, always observe the safety and operating instructions!

The overview of tires and wheels for summer and winter should be taken from Technical Information (TI) Group 4!

When replacing summer tires, pay close attention to the tire specification number! The specification codes N1, N2, N3 or N0 distinguish the summer tires specially authorized by Porsche from other models of the same tire type and size!

Notes on mounting tires
^ When fitting tires, the direction of rotation and the inner and outer sides should be noted!
^ If there are no mounting instructions on the tire sidewall, the tire must be mounted so that the DOT code is visible from the outside.
