I had them all round until last week, I had to go home to Ireland in a hurry and as as a result I put up a good mileage shagging out my rears tyres in the process. I had some Potenzas at home so put them on temporarily, today I discovered a bulge in the wall of one of the fronts, its got loads of "meat" on it so I am peed off! Just checking out the prices of the Michelins online now, bloody cars, always costing money!

Cheap on the tires and buy Made in Japan Dunlop, Terry. I think you can almost shoe X4 your Boxster for the price of one Michelin. Good tire, look & smell similar

Edit: sidenote, 1 (one) imported Michelin tire e.g. Pilot here is $600

Was looking at your pics earlier... if you are in shopping mode lately then pick up a new camera or phone also. One you got now can't process reds anymore, they don't show on my monitor here anyway. Unless perhaps you have an exotic custom paint? If factory guard red, then you sure need a new camera - bin-the-old

What are the Dunlops like in the wet? You gotta remember I'm in the UK!!!
I noticed that about the pictures, to be honest I am not one of those who cares too much about these things, my Sony is a fantastic phone ( got 2, 1 for each country) and that is its main purpose.

Just got a new PS2 fitted for £123 all in, happy enough with that!
