My '98 Boxster had a set of Ziex 912 tires installed right before I bought it.
They were a decent tire, and for around town use, are quite good in just about everything you can throw at them.

Only problem is if you get into really aggressive driving, or start doing track days, you can tear up the outer tread on the front tires pretty easy if you are still using the stock 205 width front tires.

The rears wore a bit more in the center, but that was because I actually kept them inflated to the pressure that Porsche recommends on the door. I now keep the tires between 32 and 34 psi in the rear, and no more center wear. You can probably get 10k miles with moderate driving, or 15k with easy driving on the rear 912's.

I got about 7k on them before they were no longer what I wanted on the car for my next track day, so off they came. I now run the Falken Azenis RT-615 on my Boxster, with 225/45-17 up front, and 255/40-17 in the rear. Fronts aren't getting worn out on the edges under abusive driving.

BC.
