I just bought a 2001 Boxster S. I found this one locally, one-owner, 14,200 miles. Significant options were the 18" "Turbo" wheels and PSM. I paid $27,000.

Random Question: Should I replace the tires? They still have quite a bit of tread left, but they feel slightly out of balance at 70-75 mph. Do these tires tend to get twisted/flattened or otherwise decompose with 7 years of aging?
