I just bought a 2003 Boxster which drove ok until I hit 65+ mph and the steering wheel shook. I had the front wheels balanced twice and put new front tires and it still shook. I have Hankook Ventus Sport K104 235/35/19 in the front and 265/30/19 in the back. The mechanic said that Hankook are cheap tires and are the cause of the shaking, but he was wrong! These tires stick to the road! Today I took my boxster in to America's Tire Co to get a Road Force Balance on the front tires. Big difference... The car drives like a Porsche should. It cost $20.00 per wheel. If the wheel has to be dismounted there is an additional $7.00 per wheel.
