I currently have Pirelli P-Zero Rossas with about 1/3 tread life remaining. The bad news is the right rear tire hit a pot hole and developed a 'bubble' in the sidewall. My options are:

A: Replace that one Pirelli for ~$250
B: Replace all 4 with Michelin Pilot Sport for ~$850
C: Replace all 4 with Bridgestone Potenza RE050A Pole Position for ~$620
D: Something else entirely

(The RE050A replaced the now-discontinued S-02 / S-03 line)

The Michelins are Porsche OE, but they are more expensive. I have another car that I drive back and forth to work in, so my Boxster is just for 'fun' driving (and no snow), with the occasional DE event thrown in.

Suggestions?
