The HTR Z III was recommended but would rather spend more if I am not going to be safe in the rain...but will also be sad if I spend a bunch of money for a tire that wears quickly. Had Toyos from Kaufman Tire who is no longer in business....belts had separated in the back tire and then this last weekend I had a blow out on the highway...so need to get all or at least two. Any comments would be appreciated...
The guys at the track in College Station (similar heat and climate issues you face in Dallas) are all very impressed with Hankook Ventus V12s. They perform as well as Michelin PS2s at half the price on the boxster.

I'm planning on buying two sets of them, for my 18 inch street rims and my 17 inch track rims.
