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.

The Yokohama Advan Neova AD08 is an excellent tire both wet or dry but they are very expensive in the states as are Michelin PS2s. You can get Dunlop Star Specs for 30-40% less with very similar levels of grip and comfort.

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.
