My 2003 S is very sensitive to tires and wheel balance. I've owned it since new and it always has been. I tried a set of Toyo Proxes Sport tires and couldn't get the car to stop shaking at 70ish speeds. This was on OEM 17 inch wheels with the OEM tire sizes. My independent Porsche garage checked everything out and narrowed it down to 1 front tire which was replaced under warranty. That still didn't help. After 8,000 miles those tires still looked like new, but I threw them away and went back to Michelin PS2's which are much better. My independent garage said they didn't have good luck with Toyo tires on Boxsters and that they were very sensitive to tires. Good luck with finding a solution, I know how frustrating it can be to have your steering wheel vibrating and annoying you.
