Godd to hear, I will go for the PZero rosso then. However they give me the Pichelin Pilot for about the same price and to tell you the true I am not 100% for the PZero's, but as you said sometimes is good testing a new tire, without thinking too much about the choice, as long as they are not Chinese tires...
Years ago I had a Lotus Elise MK1, a nice 1999 model which was as much fun as driving a kart. The only one thing I didn't like (I bought it brand new) were the tires, with a light weight car as the Elise it took a long time to get the right temperature and when the tires were cold, it was like driving on the soap.
Guess what, the tires were PZero's! But the weight of the Boxster S is about twice as much as the weight of the Lotus and the PZero rosso should be more advanced than the old Pzero's, don't you think so?
