Agree. But if you're looking for a deal on tires check with the guys who ran Boxster Spec last year on R888's. The spec series moved to RE-1's this year and there are a lot of new or almost new R888's sitting in garages that can't be used. I picked up a set of R888's this way for much less than a set of NT-01's.
