Hello everyone - I just joined the forum and I'd appreciate your advice/experience with replacement tires. I've owned my Boxster S for almost 2 years and it's time to look for new tires.
It's a 2001 S with about 19k miles on the original Dunlop 9090. Wheels are 18" with 225/40ZR front & 265/35/ZR rear. Prior owner had put 10.5k miles on it over a 4yr period. Seems like I don't drive it much either, but I enjoy it everytime I get behind the wheel
.
Weather is pretty dry in the San Francisco Bay area, and I don't drive it in the rain. Driving style is moderate to aggressive at times. Important criteria are: long treadwear, good overall handling and performance. I went to Porsche dealer for an oil change and service manager wanted to sell me a set of Pirelli Rossos for around $1800 out the door. I declined as I usually get my tires at America's Tire and wanted a 2nd opinion.
Thank you all in advance.
Cheers and happy roadstering... is that a word?!
