The car I bought came with mis-matched lower end tires; Falkens on the front and Rikens on the back. I would like to replace them with a set of quality performance tires.

My car has the tiptronic transmission. (If I want to shift, I can drive my Lotus V8 Esprit). I do not track the car or drive it particularly hard, although I do enjoy having fun with the excellent handling of the Boxster on country roads.

The local Porsche dealer has recommended Conti Extreme Contacts, Michelin Pilot Sport 2 or Bridgestones. I would be interested in what experience others on the forum may have had with these brands, or other brands they liked. I don't mind spending the money for the mroe expensive tires, but don't want to throw money away on tires that are more suited for the track than the kind of driving I do.

Thanks in advance for your advice.
