I *think* the current tires are PZero Nero Assimetricos.

That was what was on the car when my dad bought it, and that is all he has ever put on it. part of his issue was - fronts or rears never needed replacing at the same time, and he didn't want to buy all 4 when he only needed two, nor did he want mismatched f/r.

so he stuck with what it had. they are NOT bad tires. if that was all i put on it, i'd be smiling ear to ear around every turn. i just wondered if it could get even better.

part of why i think his car handles so well is the combo of 18's + M030. i test drove some "base" boxsters w/out this suspension upgrade and they have substantially LESS performance in the turns.

the car will proably handle great w/any GOOD tire. I just want it to be as good as I can amke it.
