Base vs S

I see Perelli P zero on a lot of Boxsters. Is this the go to tire for all round use?

For 04, you could have 17's or 18 on either Base or S (maybe even 16's on base)
19's would be aftermarket and might not fit

Lots of people make changes to the wheel/tire size, so YMMV

what tires to use is like asking "How long is a piece of string?"

I have potenza S-O2 and they perform great. Treadlife sucks at least on the rear.

A lot of people like Michelin Pilot Sport PS2
Im looking at Hankook V12 or maybe Continental ExtremeContact DW as replacements
