I live in SoCal, so snow or even rain isn't really an issue. I'll never track, so that's not the issue. In other words, don't need the best, but don't want trash. Ride smoothing would be nice given the lousy roads. I've got Kumho's on my e30 and have been very pleased with the price/utility ratio, but certainly not wedded to them. Have Contis on my bicycle, but that's not exactly a reason to put them on my Boxster. Anyone around here want to make a recommendation for something I should be looking at (and if you're really local and want to turn me on to a trusted installer, all the better.) Thanks!
