Maybe this is because I am running Michelin Pilot Sport A/S Plus tires, although they are 5 seasons old and getting pretty hard.

Boxster is one of the best street vehicles ever made to do what you direct it to do. Unfortunately if you give the wrong directions it follows those also without prejudice.
All modern vehicles are designed to go straight thru steering axis inclination & proper castor settings. Therefore the moment I feel I have lost control I release my grip on the steering wheel allowing it to spin freely between my hands til it self centers & the car is going straight again. Now I can make minimal steering input to regain intended direction of travel.
