The correct answer depends on how you intend to drive your Box and what priorities are important to you. There are specific tires that are designed for vastly different needs - high performance, high mileage, all-season (rain?), etc. Everyone drives their cars differently and buying an all-season tire when you needed a high performance tire (or vice versa) will result in a lot of unhappy driving or an expensive 2nd trip to the tire store.

For example, I have 2 987Ss that live entirely different lives. My Cayman is a DE and show car in the summer and my 'winter beater'. I use high performance tires in the summer, drive to the track, and use those same tires on the track. Plus I have camber dialed into it, so inside tire wear is accelerated. Michelin Sport Cup 2s would be the best tire for the track, but would wear out too quickly driving to the track along with the camber. So I look for bargain HP tires since I go thru them faster than normal. Currently have a set of Yokohoma's on that are just a touch below Continentals but I got them for $750 (before all the extra costs). The .5 sec I lose per lap to a Conti is worth it to my wallet. And in the winter I put a set of Blizzaks on and go anywhere as long as the snow isn't > 4".

My Box LE is my nice weather spring to fall car. I do fun runs with her. Comfort and tire mileage are more important for her. Oddly enough, I have a set of Yoko's on her too. I was impressed with them on my Cayman so I bought another set when the Box needed tires.

I would suggest going to TireRack.com and search for tires for your 00 Box. You'll be given a myriad of options and can determine which brand fits your requirements. There are also comments from buyers but they can be confusing - 1st says they're the greatest and the next comment says they're the worst. But they provide data pts.
