Sounds like you were pretty fortunate. If a tire goes down on these cars they get spooky pretty fast.

I am actually a pretty big fan of Hankook tires but if yours were not "speed rated" to 150mph it may have been the wrong Hankook tire. Have all of your tires inspected and make sure you are running the proper speed rating and the tires are less than 5 yrs old.

Hankook RS-3 and V12 Evo are widely used on Boxsters and have a speed rating exceeding 168 mph.
