I've had several sets of Conti Extreme Sport & DW tires on my CSS. Good tire but they can cup, even with good suspension & alignment. Google cupping + Continental.

I just bought a set of Bridgestone Potenza S007A tires for my Wheeler Dealer 14 CS and initial response is good. I also got a smokin deal on a set of Yokohama V105s for my CSS and my initial response to them is good too. The Potenzas were priced similar to Contis, the Yokos should have been priced similar to Michelins, but I got them for $713 out the door.

I put about 10k on a set of Kumho ecsta 4x tires. Loved them.

I'm sure the piolet sports are better, but the ecsta's were all season with good wet traction reviews (and in practice great wet traction). These were for my wife to dd back and forth to work on.

When I drove and put my foot down, the tires did pretty well. Stuck good and at high speeds didn't make any obnoxious noises or vibrations.

All that being said... Porsche should only be driven fast and the next boxster we get is gonna have some RE71r's on it. But it will be purchased for my entertainment not to carry my wife to work in.
