These values are for cold tires (68°F/20 °C).

Interesting that Porsche recommends the same pressures for a variety of wheel/tire sizes.
Here is what VW recommends for the V8 Touareg:

Yes, Lewis, you can chime in, too!
Just picked up an '06 CS Tit Ed and here's the deal:
Tires: Pirelli Rosso N0 275/45 R19 108 XL Y
Cold pressures per the manual: 38/43 f/r partially loaded, 38/50 f/r fully loaded
Inside the driver's door, the recommended cold pressures fully loaded are 39/49 f/r.
The MAX pressure listed on the Pirelli sidewall is 50 psi. Go figure.
With a fairly loaded vehicle and towing around 5000-6000 lbs, what tire pressures are you running?
I'd hate to blow a bead or disintegrate one of the rears...

Could I ask you what kind of deal you got? How much off invoice?
