The temperature grade for this tire is established for a tire that is properly inflated and not overloaded. Excessive speed, underinflation, or excessive loading, either separately or in combination, can cause heat buildup and possible tire failure.fDo not exceed the permitted maximum speed for the tires fitted to the vehicle.fEnsure that the tires are set to the correct inflation pressure.fObserve the maximum load for the vehicle.
Tire pressures
Driving the vehicle with low tire pressure increases risk of a tire failure and resulting loss of control. Furthermore, low tire pressure increases rate of wear of the affected tires and causes damage. fAlways use an accurate tire pressure gauge when checking inflation pressures.fDo not exceed the maximum tire pressure listed on the tire sidewall. (Also refer to “Technical data”).fPlease see the chapter “TIRE PRESSURE PLATE” on page 247.fCold tire inflation pressure means: all tires must be cold, ambient temperature maximum 68 °F (20 °C), when adjusting the inflation pressure. Avoid sunlight striking the tires before measuring cold pressures, since the pressures would rise from temperature influence.fValve caps protect the valve from dust and dirt, and thus from leakage. Always screw caps tightly down. Replace missing caps immediately.
fUse only plastic valve caps.fFor safety reasons, don't use tire inflating bottles.
fPlease see the chapter “TIRE PRESSURE FOR COLD TIRES (68 °F/ 20 °C)” on page 287.
Each tire, including the spare (if provided), should be checked monthly when cold and inflated to the
inflation pressure recommended by the vehicle manufacturer on the vehicle placard or tire inflation pressure label. (If your vehicle has tires of
a different size than the size indicated on the vehicle placard or tire inflation pressure label, you
should determine the proper tire inflation pressure
for those tires.)
As an added safety feature, your vehicle has been equipped with a Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) that illuminates a low tire pressure telltale when one or more of your tires is significantly under-inflated. Accordingly, when the low tire pressure telltale illuminates, you should stop and check your tires as soon as possible, and inflate them to the proper pressure. Driving on a significantly under-inflated tire causes the tire to overheat and can lead to tire failure. Under-inflation also reduces fuel efficiency and tire tread life, and may affect the vehicle’s handling and stopping ability.
Please note that the TPMS is not a substitute for proper tire maintenance, and it is the driver’s responsibility to maintain correct tire pressure, even if under-inflation has not reached the level to trigger illumination of the TPMS low tire pressure tell-tale.
For further information on the tire pressure monitoring:fPlease see the chapter “TIRE PRESSURE MENU (TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM, TPMS)” on page 105.
When tires are warm, the tire pressure is increased.fNever let air out of hot tires. This could cause the tire pressure to fall below the prescribed value.
Insufficient tire pressure can cause tires to over- heat and thus be damaged – even invisibly. Hidden tire damage is not eliminated by subsequently correcting the tire pressure.
Overloading
Overloading can lead to dangerous vehicle reactions and long braking distances.fDo not overload your vehicle. Be careful about the roof load. fIf you plan to load the vehicle, first correct the tire pressure. Tire pressure for loaded vehicle can be found on the tire pressure plate and in the chapter technical data.fNever exceed the specified axle load.

Wheels with Central Lock
Racing technology for the road. Wheels with a central lock are perfectly normal in motor sport, but are not common on normal roads.Instead of the central lock nuts conventionally used in motor sport, the wheel has an encapsulated central bolt, which is used to fasten it to the wheel hub.
Driving on a race circuit (e.g. sports driving school, club sport events)
Wheels are subjected to significantly higher stresses during extremely sporty driving – particularly when driving on race circuits – compared to driving on public roads. For this reason, all the instructions specified below must always be noted and followed for driving on race circuits.fAlways make enquiries with your authorized Porsche dealer about any other driving and maintenance instructions before driving on race circuits.
The central lock, like all chassis components, requires greater attention while driving on race circuits.fCheck the tightening torque of the central bolts before, if necessary during and after driving on a race circuit.fWhenever wheels are changed, apply some aluminum paste to the trapezoidal thread on the wheel hub or have a second set of greased screws on hand.fNever drive the vehicle without a central lock bolt in the hub.fAll central wheel lock components, such as the central bolt, wheel, wheel hub, wheel hex and brake disk must always be checked for wear and replaced if necessary after driving on a race circuit.
fAxis components subject to high loads must be replaced at intervals specified by Porsche . Always make enquiries with your authorized Porsche dealer about the current stipulations before driving on race circuits.fOther parts such as ball joints, rubber mounts, etc., where wear may result in modified vehicle handling, must be checked and if applicable replaced without delay.
Deferring inspection, maintenance and replacement measures can result in accidents.
This is particularly true if you are clocking up high mileage on race circuits . We recommend that you get an authorized Porsche dealer to carry out these measures.
Components can break or become damaged. Unsuitable wheel sizes or incorrectly dimensioned components in the hub area of accessory wheels , the use of spacers, etc. can impair the overall function of the wheel mounting.fOnly use wheel/tire combinations approved by Porsche.fUnder no circumstances should spacers be used.
Central Bolts
The central bolt and central bolt lock are safety-related components. Always check them for signs of wear and damage.fThe conical surface, trapezoidal thread and inner toothing of the central bolt must not be scratched or cracked.fReplace damaged central bolts.Only use the genuine Porsche central bolts allocated specifically to this vehicle model.fThe conical surface and trapezoidal thread on the central bolt must be perfectly clean.
Tightening torque for central bolts: 443 ftlb. (600 Nm).
Changing a Wheel
fGet an authorized Porsche dealer to change the wheel.
Information
The tools required for changing a wheel (e.g. jack, torque wrench) are not supplied as standard with the car. Your authorized Porsche dealer will be pleased to advise you.
