Tire suggestions for 2001 "S", light track use

[steved0x]

Another good dual purpose tire street/track tire is the Hankook R-S4, and if you do decide to go with a set of staggered 17" OEM wheels, keep in mind that you can run 225/45/17 up front which greatly increases your choices of 17" tires. There are limited good track worthy tires in 205/50/17 which is the stock front size in 17" for the 986 Boxster.

That is exactly what I am getting, R-S4's with 225/45-17 up front. I have an extra set of wheels I'll get them mounted on, so I can continue to use my BFG G-Force Sport Comp-2s for regular street use (although they work pretty decently on the track).
