I know this is an old posting I'm responding to, but I just bought an '03 Boxster with new N3000's (235/40-18 and 265/35-18). I have a reasonable amount of experience with street tires (PCA and BMWCCA DE events, Michelin/Goodyear/Yokohama/Kuhmo tires on my 914 and M3), I've put about 500 miles on the N3000's. Low noise, maintaining balance, decent traction so far. In street use, a Boxster's cornering limits are so high that these tires should be fine for a vast majority of owners. No rain experience yet. I saw a full set of these tires in my sizes for under $550 on eBay. 340 wear rating might translate to getting 15K+ out of the rears. Overall, good street tires, hard to beat at this price point.
