Thanks. I have done that, but it's always interesting to hear the views from actual users.

I'm leaning toward a summer, not all-season, tire, as the Boxster will never see snow or ice. Likely the Michelin PS2 with the N mark.

I'm in Pennsylvania and drive only the summer tires (store car in winter). I have experienced Dunlop SS, Michelin PS2, and Michelin Pilot Super Sport XL. I much prefer the Michelins and very much like the performance and ride quality. I moved to the Super Sport XL because they are supposed to wear a bit better and were even slightly less than the PS2s. I haven't noticed any performance difference (decline), but they are only 1 year old & can't comment on if they will wear better. That is my hope, only was getting 10-12k on rears of PS2. I've got 18" sport classic rims and the sizes are 22540zr18 front and 26535zr18 rears driving '02 S. Good luck!
