i'll find out in April...

The Boxster had its tires replaced right before its winter sleep.
I had the worn out Bridgestone S02a rubber replaced, as the rears were nearly totally bald at the inside edges and howled mercilessly at speed.
The fronts weren't worn too badly, but they were 8 years old, and I figured it was about time.
The car was shod with a set of Michelin Pilot Super Sports, for two reasons.
Firstly, they were rated very favourably on Tirerack and other sites, and secondly, I have a retired uncle that had an unused set of tire coupons that had to be used before year's end.
Nothing better than a roughly 25% discount on a set of premium tires. That and another $70 rebate directly from Michelin too.
Sadly, I'll have to wait until the spring to report on new tire awesomeness.
