Tire Recommendations for Florida

[tkerns]

I am new member to these forums and also to the Porsche family. I just purchased a 2000 Boxster S and absolutely love it. That being said I live in Florida and am ANAL about tires, whether it is for my daily driver truck or my wives SUV. We have serious thunderstorms here and I want a tire that works great in the rain (buckets of water being thrown at my front tires). Currently the car has Michelin Pilot Sports (18" Rad Sport Wheels) with about 7K miles of wear and I am a little nervous about driving this car during the afternoon thundershowers. This car does not have the traction control option so I am completely at the tires mercy. Any recommendations from Florida Boxster owners would be appreciated. I am not too concerned with tire wear during hot and dry days as long as the tire sticks well in both dry and wet weather. Currently I am spying the Bridgestone Potenza S03 tires. Does anyone have any positive or negative feedback on these tires or any recommendations? I dont trust Tire Rack's readers comments, as these do not represent my car and conditions. I would prefer to hear from "real drivers of the Boxster S"

Thanks!
