When I bought the car it had P-Zero Rossos on with about 90% of the tread left. I corded them in 2 months, after 8 or 9 autocrosses. Now I have RE050A's as the daily tire, and a set of VictoRacers as my race tires so that I don't do that again, lol.

Since my car is my daily driver, tire life concerns me! Although the car I just traded in only got 10k miles in 14 months... I live close to work, and can keep the mileage down... but heck, the Boxster is so fun to drive!!

I put a set of BF Goodrich GForce Sports on the back. They were the least expensive (same price as the Kumho SPX, I think?), and had a high treadwear rating, so I'm hoping I'll get about two years out of them.

Need to put a pair on the front... the Bridgestone Potenzas on there have some tread, but their traction sucks.

"Dude! We got our rims and tires at the same time a few months back, right?

Of course, I never kick out the back end, never spin the tires, and never really corner that hard."


You are right, we both got our tires and rims at the same time and my rear Falken tires are not as smooth as a baby's behind, but almost. I have 4K-5K on the tires, but unlike you, I used the Falkens as an opportunity to explore, lets see...... for lack of a better phrase " the range of possiblilites of our cars"..... The car seems to love it, the tires don't, they are toast. As I said before, I plan on behaving myself more with the far more expensive PS2's,
