Our local dealer states those pressures also.
Recently I rode in an 03' TT X50 to K.C., Mo.
and drove a 355 Spider back. The 355 was by far
the best ride quality. I did like the exhaust note
on the X50. A little deeper than the standard TT.

Do a search on the Rennlist. There was a huge debate in one recent thread (2 or so months ago if memory serves) about over vs. underinflating for the track. For the street, i run the GT-2 tires (pilot sports, they are ok) a pound or two below recommended pressures. But the car is not softly sprung to begin with.

what are y'all running at for DD purposes? just got my car last week and i filled them to recommended pressures (cold, 35 front, 44 rear, iirc) and damn the car became a rough ride (and i usually like the jarring and bumping!).

wonder why/how rec tire pressures can be so dramatically different on such similar sized tires? i think the 360 stock rears are 285/40/18 or something similar to the tt but pressure is rec in the book somewhere near 30psi. thoughts???

thanks!
