Nick,
Absolutely nothing wrong with Nexen tires. Good grip wet/dry on the street, low price, last a long time. Similar performance to the Sumitomo. An excellent daily driver all around tire.

The difference between a $400 set and a $1000 set?? About 2-3 seconds at the track. An extreme performance summer tire wears out quickly, runs noisy, costs a lot, but brings home the bacon. Drive your car and then drive a fellow Boxter with Advan Neovas and you will feel the difference. Everyone must decide for themselves which tire best matches their lifestyle and driving style. Do you autocross for kicks or are you deadly serious? Are those few seconds worth the $$$.
