I agree with the wheel theory at this point. I agee that it should show up during a rf balance but it is the only thing I have to go on at this point except mechanical. I can't imagine buying 3 sets of tires and having all 3 sets bad. That is why I put a set of Michelin Pilots on, to eliminate it being a tire issue. If they can not get the tires balanced tomorrow then I will again go to my INY and put on another set of wheels and tires and do the test again. I also have a Porsche club meeting this monday night and will see if I can get another early model boxster owner to meet me at the tire store where I purchased the Michelins and do a front rim or tire swap. Test drive both cars and see what the results are. Should tell alot. My ony concern at this point is it is getting very cold here now and running around on Michelin Pilots is probably not such a good idea below 30 degrees.

Thanks for all the comments gang. We'll somehow get it figured out.

I'll let everyone know of the results.
