Just thought I'd share for those out there thinking about new tires. I've been considering tires for my 01S for a while. I put Continental Extreme Contact DW's on my daily (Volvo 850 turbo with suspension mods) and was pleased, so after some price comparisons and reading, I went with the new generation of this tire, the Extreme Contact Sport, for my Boxster.

75 miles into ownership, I am impressed. Great levels of grip, very communicative, and not too loud. Haven't pushed them to their limit, but all the initial signs point to them being a good choice at about 2/3rds the cost of the new Michelin Pilots.
