Lucky.. imagine seeing you here.. anyway.. tires are too "personal" for me to comment about. I run RA-1s all summer and put back regular "street tires" for the winter months.

As for alignment, you will learn that a "stock" boxster isn't very friendly towards aggressive alignments. You will likely only get (-).8- (-)1.2 degrees of negative camber up front. Rear you can get a little more out. So, if you plan to drive the car aggressively (ax or track) you will find the outside edges wear out quickly on the front.

That said, I would max out the front camber and add (-).5 more to the rear. My rears, despite AX and DE (ab)use are wearing really well, but as I mentioned, my fronts are all chewed up.
