    Just picked up my 2106 California T (more on that later). Tire pressure was set at 33/30, although manual says 35/32. Thoughts on correct pressure?

    First reaction - This is my third California having had the original, the "30" and now the T. After less than 100 miles I can confidently say that this is the best California so far. Was unsure of my reaction to the Turbo, but it is smooth as silk and still maintains the sound we all want to hear when we step on the pedal.

    Everything in the cabin is more thoughtfully placed and the technology is a HUGE upgrade. I took a risk with the Rosso California color and I am happy that I did. It is a candy red in the sun, but takes on rust hues (in a good way) in low light. Pictures to follow, but so far, I am ecstatic.

    I run all my cars from my Maseratis to Cali T at 32/34 , seems to give me the comfort, handling and longevity on the rubber. I am running Michilin Pilot Super Sport

    When the time comes, check out Pirelli PZero Trofeo Rs -- super sticky streetable comp tires. 6000 miles ....and you're done though.

    Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 tires are also not too shabby... I believe they're standard on the Porsche 918. OTOH though, Pilot Super Sports are probably a better choice for everyday use.

    As for tire pressures, I use the ones on the door sticker as a rough guide. Sometimes I use lower pressures, but never higher pressures.

    I too use the door sticker pressures, have on all three Calis. However, as I remember, I needed a couple more lbs in the front for Mid Ohio.

    Mine came standard with Michelin Pilot Super Sports. I run them at the door sticker pressures as well.
