Could you expand on this a bit?
I'm about to buy my first Porsche, a 2000 Boxster Base. It goes for PPI on Friday.
The fronts are BFGoodrich GForce Comp2 AS 205/50ZR17
The rears are Eagle F1 Assymetric AS 255/40ZR17
What should I expect?
When I test drove the car I did feel a little wheel bounce that felt like a balance issue, enough that I made balancing a contingency of the sale.
