Almost TOO good for the street :P lol |
I agree the Star Spec warms up very quickly, don't think any tires out there can do that.

Thank you for all your replies!
It is interesting to see that no one mentions Yokohama - Why is that!?! It is also interesting that many of you are driving around with non N rated tires. Porsche seem to scare people into the must of having N rated tires! I went and did a big service on my Boxster the other day and while I waited I had a look at the cars they had for sale. All Ferraris and Porsches were fitted with either Bridgestone or Michelin... I will probably go for the Michelin again...but if you would have said the Yokohamas are great then I might have given them a try... The choice of tires seem to be more limited here in Portugal than in your country. |

I still have the Bridgestone re050a on my street set and am having difficulty wearing them away. They have performed brilliantly on/off the track (I use these when it rains), and am going to replace them because of the age of the tire than wear. Overall, I would say I have at least 10k miles on the 050a's.

The best overall tire I've ever had on a Porsche were the GY Eagle F1 GS D3 but I don't think you can get in them in our sizes any more. I still have a good pair of fronts, but can't replace the rears so I guess I'll get rid of them. |
Hankooks ?
Just stay away from Hankook V12's. I am sending mine back to Discount Tire for a full refund. I can't get them balanced. Tried 3 times. Even Road Force balanced and still a shake at 70 mph. I am convinced they are just bad tires. You get what you pay for. Discount Tire has been great to work with so I am not knocking them just the tires. They did a complete free swap for a different brand and paying for the shipping both ways.

Does anyone have any experience with Nitto tires; namely the Invo or the NT05 ? Both appear to have an interesting tread pattern .

I have had Hankook V12 on 2 other vehicles, no issues and very good wet/dry traction. Not saying Fullthrottle didn't have the balancing problems, but I have had good luck with V12's.

Does anyone have any experience with the Yokohama Advan Neova ?

C6 - I love the look of the Hankook V12's but just could not get them to work with my Box. I'm very glad you are having luck with them. I wish I would have had the same experience. I repalced them today wiht Yokamohama's all season tires and what a difference. They run smooth and straight. I think I just got a bad set of times. Interesting thought is I took them to UPS today to ship them back and they weighed the tires for shipping. There whas a 1.5 lb difference between the 2 front tires and a 1 lb difference between the back tires. ??????

Don't know but I would consider this as not good at all. |

Which Yokohama exactly did you replace with? |
That's what happens when you buy from second-tier tire company, bad QC means you will never get perfect tire balance.
When the tire guy put my Z1 Star Spec on, he said they need very little wheel weights to get a perfect balance. |
