Practical Tips, Emergency Service
 Danger!
Risk of serious personal injury or death. 
Driving the vehicle with low tire pressure 
increases risk of a tire failure and resulting 
loss of control. Furthermore, low tire pres-
sure increases rate of wear of the affected 
tires.
fCheck tires – including sidewalls – regularly for 
foreign bodies, nicks, cuts, cracks and bulges.
fAfter driving off road, examine tires for signs 
of damage such as cuts, tears, bulges or for-
eign objects stuck in the tread. Replace a dam-
aged tire if necessary.
fCross curb edges slowly and at right angles if 
possible. 
Avoid driving over steep or sharp curbs.
fIn cases of doubt, have the wheel (particularly 
the inner side) checked by an authorized Porsche dealer.
Tire replacements If in doubt, contact your Porsche dealer.
Use only tire makes and types approved by 
Porsche. 
If you do not use a Porsche recommended 
replacement tire, make sure that you 
purchase your new tires from a reputable tire 
dealer and that the dealer complies with all 
manufacturers warnings for those tires. 
Only tires with the same make and with the 
same specification code (e.g. “N0”, “N1”...) 
can be mounted. 
Before mounting new tires, check with your 
Porsche dealer about the current release 
status. 
Use tires with “ZR” quality standards. There 
are currently no standards concerning tire 
strength at speeds above 150 mph (240 km/h). 
Tires should be replaced no less than on one axle 
at the time. 
Only tires of the same make and type must be 
used. Mixed tires are not permissible. 
Initially, new tires do not have their full traction. 
You should therefore drive at moderate speeds 
during the first 60 - 120 miles (100 - 200 km). If new tires are installed only on one axle, a notice-
able change in handling occurs due to the different 
tread depth of the other tires. 
This happens especially if only rear tires are re-
placed. However, this condition disappears as the 
new tires are broken in. 
fPlease adjust your driving style accordingly.
Installation of new tires should only be done by a 
qualified tire technician. 
Valves 
Rubber valve stems must be replaced every time 
a tire is replaced.
For metal valves, the installation and replacement 
instructions must be observed.
fUse only genuine Porsche metal valves.
fProtect the valve inserts against soiling with 
valve caps.
Soiled valve inserts can cause a gradual loss 
of air.
fUse only plastic valve caps.
