2 Answers
The tire size of the Porsche 718 is 235/40ZR19. The specifications and dimensions of the tires are marked on the side of the tire. Different configurations of the same model may have different tire specifications and sizes. Owners should pay attention to the tire size specifications and production date when replacing tires. The Porsche 718 is an entry-level sports car from Porsche, with body dimensions of 4379mm in length, 1801mm in width, and 1276mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2475mm. In terms of power, the Porsche 718 is equipped with two turbocharged engines: a 2.0T and a 2.5T. The 2.0T engine has a maximum horsepower of 250, while the 2.5T engine has a maximum horsepower of 350. Both engines are paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission.
The standard tire size for my Porsche 718 Boxster is typically 235/40 R19 for the front wheels and 255/40 R19 for the rear wheels. This combination provides exceptional stability and strong grip during high-speed cornering. I remember the incredible road-holding feel during my last mountain drive. The slightly wider rear tires help reduce slippage during acceleration. It's important to regularly check tire pressure, with the recommended range being around 32-35 psi for optimal fuel efficiency and safety. If upgrading to 20-inch wheels, the sizes change to 255/35 R20 front and 295/30 R20 rear, though at a higher cost. Regular wheel balancing is advised to prevent uneven wear. These dimensions give the 718 a sporty yet not overly aggressive look. Choosing high-performance summer tires can improve wet weather performance, but they're problematic in snow/ice conditions—winter or all-season tires are recommended for cold weather safety.
