Which tyre is best?

Good choice. The Pirelli's have such a soft compound that they wear out ultra-fast and the soft rubber also doesn't do well in colder weather (not freezing by any means, but just cold weather).

I have PS2's on my car now and unless I am flat broke, I'm going to keep putting them on my boxster. Excellent traction in all sorts of weather and they seem to be wearing well.

UPDATE: I was finally able to wear out my rear PS2's so I can try the new Pilot Super Sports. Saved $100 for the pair over the last rear PS2's & they feel great so far.

Got about 600 miles on the Mich Super Sports on the rear so I stoped by the local skidpad (Long Beach traffic Circle) today, felt better than the PS2's. AutoXing Sunday so I will try & push it enough to get the rear to break loose.

Thanks for all the info here. Just went through this decision myself. I have 19" rims so matched pairs are harder to find. I was considering changing to 18" rims and going with either the Hankook's or Sumi's, but after talking to one of the guys in the local Porsche Club who does a lot of events, I went with the Michelin Super Sports.

His commentary was that they run into sidewall failure often at events with both of those brands, and that they do not see the issues with Bridgestone or Michelin. Also thought they would last longer so the difference in price wasn't so bad.

The Super Sports are $150 cheaper on tirerack than the PS2 right now as well. Will report on my results - installed on Saturday.
