One thing to note... those tires have been unmounted and swapped to the other side. The Boxster wears out the INNER edge of the tire, not the outer edge as you described. Some people have the tires unmounted and swapped to the other side so the rotation is still correct, but now the inner edge is one the outside. Gives you a bit more tire life.
On the other hand, I just put new BF Goodrich Geforce tires on mine, and I still have what I thought was tire noise coming from the rear. I may have wheel bearing starting to go as well. I'll wait until I get my lift if they have to be changed.
