U get what u pay for. U need 4 new tires, since they are over 6 years old. Look into Michelin tires; P2S, PSS, or the newer PS4. Excellent grip. Great wet traction. Very good tread life. Yes, you can find <$ tires, but that will compromise the criteria listed. And they will compromise for a greater mileage range than a Michelin.

If you want to get crazy, look into the Cup 2s. The upside being, they are extremely DE worthy, and you can drive them in, and drive them out of the track, in rain.

You will be able to easily double stint the front tires to your rear tires. Rear tires can easily last 20,000 miles on a Boxster. Less so if you are doing DE and AutoX.
