Dunlop SP Sport Maxx/tire pressures - 986 Forum - The Community for Porsche Boxster & Cayman Owners

Do any of you run the Maxx? If so, what pressures are you running?

I have a 1,000 mile old set on my '01, and I'm just not impressed. They feel a bit squirmy and aren't very confidence inspiring. Before the Dunlops, the car had the OEM Pilot Sports, and they felt much more crisp and seemed to have higher levels of grip. The Dunlop is supposed to be a better tire, but I'm just not feeling it.
I'm relatively new to the Boxster, so I'm not sure how much pressure comes into play.

Thanks!

I think the Car and Driver report on Tire Rack tends to point to the Pilot Sports as a better tire, especially with dry responsiveness.

Interesting test.
The Pilot tested was the PS2- I was referring to the original Pilots from 2001. I was going back and forth between the Eagle F1 and the Dunlop... guess I made the wrong decision. Maybe I should have spent that extra $150.
Oh well- just that much more motivation to wear them down.
