You can't go wrong with the Michelin PS2, they have wonderful grip and are very good in the rain. I also happen to think the ride if very smooth as well.

The downside is they are very expensive and tend to wear out quickly. Generally speaking, I believe if you have a high performance vehicle you need to get a very good tire. If you cut costs on the tire, the whole package ends up losing.

Also, the new 987 Boxsters and Caymans come with the PS2 factory. So Porsche obviously thinks they work well with the car.
