Glad you had a good time.

I'd stick to the cheaper tires and rims for awhile until you feel your skills getting to the point where it will really make adifference.

Im using Hankook V12's which are grippy enough, cheap and will last ~5 race days.

These are cheap rims and tires .
The car needed new rears due to uneven wear and and annoying road noise .
I will eventually get her tires on the old stock rims , The new ones are just for show

I don't think there is anything happening now until October so I have plenty of time to get the boxster ready ....


I'll just puts the stock potenza on mine as the fronts are still good .

Second on the Hankook Ventus V12s. Much more grip than the Michelin Pilot Super Sports I had on before.... and less than $500 for a set of four mounted and balanced from SD Tires in Escondido.
