    Check your pressures people 997S had 50 psi upon delivery

    I think the dealer is SUPPOSED to check on these things... but this is the SECOND 911 I've bought that was delivered with the tires WAY over inflated..... Mine had 36 front and 48 rear - it's supposed to be 33 front and 39 rear

    Always check your pressures in all cars after the car has been delivered or has come from the shop, specially if you got the tires changed. Shops will always fill them on the high side normally.

    They do it on purpose! I always tell the shops when they change the tires for example, no matter what car or shop, the pressures I want, and then when I checked they were still sometimes on the high side and if I don't say anything the n they are always high. Maybe its for liability, since lower than spec can pose a danger as oposed to higher, or maybe new tires need higher pressures initially t settle them in, I have no clue, but it always happens. At least here.

    Has anyone tried the "TireMinder" pressure gauge product?
