What Tires are you running on your Boxster
 

Hey guys I'm trying to decided what tires to get for my new 2000 S and wanted a little input from everyone on what they have tried and there likes and dislikes of the tires. I live in Alabama and take frequent trips to Florida so not really wanting a harsh or noisy tire but would like to keep performance in mind also the car will never see any snow but will see a lot of rain. Thanks and look forward to seeing what y'all prefer

Michelin Pilot Sport. Amazing grip. Fronts are 9yrs old.:eek:

My 2011 Spyder came with Bridgestone Potenza RE50A's. I would have preferred Michelin Super Sport's which I had on my 2008 Cayman S. Jury is still out on the Bridgestone's until I have more driving time on them. Bought my Spyder this Memorial Day and it only had 1,400 miles on the odometer. Currently at 2,100 miles.

I've use nothing but PS2's the past 7 driving seasons and +50,000 miles. On the final days of my 3rd set of tires. Excellent tires. My next set will be Super Sports. Or maybe I'd consider Yoko AD08's.

Just replaced the Bridgstone RE050's on my 2008 BS with Bridgestone Pole Position S-04's. Very happy and a great deal on Tire Rack right now.

BTW, Troutman - 9-year old rubber can be dangerous to your health. The experts say that the rubber compounds are compromised after 5 or 6 years, regardless of mileage.

YMMV

I'm on Bridgestone S02a rubber. Work great in the wet, and stick like proverbial s#^% to a blanket in dry conditions.

Another vote for Michelin PS2's, they are amazing on my Boxster.

Street - Hankook R-S3. Much higher dry grip than my PS2's (tradeoff for high dry grip is weak wet grip and can get loud as they wear).
Track - Nitto NT-01 or Toyo R888

Goodyear Eagle F1's. No longer available though.

I have Yokohama Envigor. They were 200 cheaper than the Michelins. I've had them on since October and seem to be holding up well.

Bridgestone 760s. Went for a longer wearing, quiet, comfortable ride tire.

I was drawn to the Hankooks. I didn't have buyers remorse and they do everything I want them to...

Bald in the back is the only correct answer
:-)

I have Sumitomos in the fronts and Hankooks in the rear. I had all Sumitomo when I bought the car and like them quite a bit. If I can, I'll probably put the Sumitomos back on it when I put fresh rubber on it. I felt the rear end stuck better with the Sumitomos, but that decision is based on just a couple of weeks of driving on them than the months on the Hankooks. Either is a good value for the money and works well enough for the street.

+1 Sumitomos
 

I'm on my third set of Sumitomo HTRZ III's. Won't have anything else.

Pilot super sports. They have unbelievable grip, better than my ps2's.

I have Pirelli P7000 Super sport and have done 10k miles on them in the last 2 years.
I think they are fairly old and still have wear left on them. I wish they would wear out. Looking forward to getting Michelin All seasons hopefully by the fall. These would supplement my Bridgestone Blizzaks on 16 inch rims also old. Hopefully the Michelin AS would do overall well in snow(not as good as Blizzaks I would think) and could go year round perhaps?. Any comment on road noise from Michelin AS tires versus regular summer tires?

I have the same on my car & I've been very satisfied so far.

Bridgestone RE11's. Absolutely Amazing!!

I'm running Hankook Ventus V12 evo K110 right now. Performance is pretty good, especially for the price. Primarily using the car for commuting with a little fun thrown in occasionally.
