Tyre condition / tyre pressure: Notes
WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 8 other vehicles, including the 2004 Porsche Boxster, 2003 Porsche Boxster, 2002 Porsche Boxster, 2001 Porsche Boxster, and 2000 Porsche Boxster. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
Tyres are a safety element which fulfil the demands placed on them only if they have the correct air pressure and a sufficient tread depth.
The stated air pressures are minimum pressures and must never be fallen below, since in addition to the unfavourable driving performance, this would bring about a risk of serious tire damage.
Valve caps protect the valve from dust and dirt and therefore from leaks. Always screw caps tight and replace any missing caps.
For reasons of safety, besides a check on air pressure a visual check should be made for sufficient tread depth, foreign bodies, punctures, cuts, cracks and bulges in the sidewall (ply breakage).
