Unlike the 911, the engineers at Porsche A.G. were able to start with a clean sheet of paper for the Boxster. Weight distribution, suspension, steering, wheel and tire size and selection were all chosen specifically to give the Boxster neutral handling. As little oversteer and/or understeer as possible. That's why we have different width and different profile tires front and rear -- to accomplish neutral handling.
