Tire Recommendations

I can't comment with specific experience on the Boxster yet as my '06 Boxster S is still on the boat at the moment. I do, however, have a MB C32 AMG and Subaru WRX and have tried a number of tires over the years. I had Bridgestone S03 Pole Postions and they were very good in the rain. They have very stiff sidewalls and seemed to tramline a little more than other comparable tires. They also became rather noisy towards the end of their life.

I recently put Goodyear F1 GS D3's on my AMG and am very happy with them. They are very confidence inspiring in the wet unlike the Michelin Pilot Sports that orginally came on the car. They also have a fairly stiff sidewall for quick turn in unlike the Toyo Proxes T1-S I tried.

I believe the Goodyears are known for their wet weather performance and they are reasonably priced compared to Michelins.
