I had to put tires on the rear of my Boxster. Same size wheels.

Check out tirerack.com. I found the Kumhos and the tires I bought - BF Goodrich GForce Sports- were the most 'cost effective'. Only put about 1000 miles on 'em so far, and they're very sticky. They have a pretty high treadwear rating, so I'm hoping they'll last a couple years as a daily driver.

I need to get another pair for the front, as the Bridgestone Potenzas that are on there are slipping a bit. They still have a decent amount of tread, but they don't stick for crap.

Anyway, a pair of 265 35 18s were $163 each from Tirerack. Had them shipped directly to the NTB that installed 'em.
