When I first bought my 2004 Boxster it had Michelin PS on the front and Toyo's on the rear. Any ruts in the highway caused it to veer from side to side, and my thought was that the wide tires were causing it, and if that were not a problem my ride was nearly perfect. I bought 4 new Bridgestones and viola! no problem. Now, it could have been the tire wear or type, or something else, but I'm not going to mix brands again.
