Potenza S-04 Pole Positions work great for me. My rears last about 13,000 miles but the fronts last 2 or 3 times that. I'm on my 3rd set

I've just ordered 4 x Goodyear Eagle F1 Assymetric 3 for mine. Having fun the last days throwing the car sideways every chance I get.

Pilot Sports 4 have higher ratings and better reviews than the Super Sports. Cheaper too.

Pilot Sport 4s tires are not available in sizes that will fit our cars. No 16" or 17" and only 245/14 in 18"
Pilot SuperSports are a better tire than PS2's

In the USA
The Michelin website only lists that one 18" size as does TireRack

Me too.
These tires perform well above their modest price. Very pleased with them.

My friend Ed got two new fronts on his 987.1 Cayman S and he accidentally got a different tire on the front, same brand but different model, and took it to the track and said it was virtually undrivable anywhere near the limit. But the ride to/from and around town was fine. He has already ordered two new tires.
Around town you would probably be ok. But like H.B. says, who wants to drive like that

I ended up getting matching front tires to the 4 good rear tires I have. They and the alignment (including caster and camber adjustments) are happening today-will update with how it feels after I pick it up.

Final update from me on this topic: with matching front tires and lots of alignment (comes with buying a $3000 Boxster) the car now drives like it was meant to. I'm running Fuzion tires because since the car came with 4 new rears in that brand, and they are great, though I'm sure the bigger brand tires would still be better.
