911 Carrera Coupe F6-3164cc 3.2L (1984)
Obtain even tire wear by rotating tires after 3000 miles (5000 km).
Tire pressures
Measure tire pressure only when tires are cold. Air pressure increases as tires get hotter and must not be decreased.
Conditions leading to slow air loss or structural damage
^
damage to bead during installation
^
installation damage from excessive expansion of bead core; tire could part from rim
^
installation damage to inside of tire; could cause loss of air or ply separation
^
punctures from foreign objects (nails, glass, rocks, etc.); moisture can cause rust at puncture
^
squeezing damage (from driving over potholes, curbs, or similar objects)
^
sidewall damage (from rubbing against curb or slipping off road shoulders)
^
cuts in tire (especially sidewalls)
^
damage from underinflation
Damage that impairs true-running of wheels
^
Flat spots from standing. Under high temperature conditions, tires may develop flat spots on the contact surfaces during long periods of standing.
Driving the car should correct this condition.
^
Uneven wear from damaged suspension parts or misalignment. Checking/correcting wheel alignment is necessary along with the replacing of
damaged parts.
^
Uneven wear from improper balancing. Correct balancing must be performed before damage occurs.
^
Flat spots from locked wheels while braking. This damage usually remains noticeable and cannot be repaired. When checking tire pressures, also
check condition of tires. Look for uneven tire wear, damage to tires and rims and damage to suspension parts.
Porsche recommends checking wheel alignment following the first 600 miles (1000 km) of driving, or after any repairs to the suspension system.
CAUTION Porsche recommends replacing a tire if there is damage to the tread or sidewall and any possibility of structural deterioration exists.
Note
Repairing tires with pressurized sealants or tubes is not acceptable.
Retreading tires is not acceptable.
