Thanks Starter!
There is a reason Porsche engineers sized it that way. You probably won't like the handling with narrower rears. I don't blame you for getting off run-flats. They are terrible.
Are you unable to buy online? I would look for Contiis or their cheaper version, General GMax, but those Yokohamas would probably be great as well.
Quick search showed these:

I'm sure the rears are available there as well.
Lastly, I don't know anyone using Goodyears on a Boxster (though obviously someone is somewhere.)
Good luck!
