Nothing wrong with the request.

What tires are you running? They can have a huge influence on how your car rides. Check tirerack for ride reviews on tires that fit your car.

That's a good point. My wife and daughter both have MINIs. My wife has "fuel saver" tires on her her car and has a much harsher ride compared to my daughter's car. I was already eyeing tire replacement for her to help that. I don't know why i didn't apply the same logic to the Boxster.

I have Michelin Pilot Sport N3 tires on my Boxster. They came on the car when i bought it about a year ago. They were brand new at the time.

If these are PS2s, they are the worst tires I've owned. Granted, my experience is from many yrs ago and hopefully these have improved. But the PS2s I had 10-12 yrs ago rode harsh on the street and took at least a half a lap to warm up on the track. Kind of the worst of both worlds. I've had Mich Super Sports (the father of the 4S), Conti sport contacts, Conti Conti IIIs, Yokohama Advans, and Bridgestone Potenzas that all rode better than the PS2.
