Of course I'm the exception, my agent has owned many Porsche's and has done the PCA tour to the factory, it's impossible to get anything past him :D

Would those be the ones that turn on and off "automatically" :p

Just remember that there are multiple variations on the P-Zero tire line. The P-Zero Rosso is the correct max-performance tire for the Boxster. The P-Zero Directional is obsolete and the P-Zero...

What's wrong with mixing N versions is that the different numbers indicate a different tire. Either the compound or construction or both have changed, hence the different number.

The Why is as...

I most certainly would not go with the Nero's, they are an all season tire and will greatly detract from the precision as well as ultimate grip the Boxster has.

In the 18" size I'm a fan of the...

I just got the 615's on my track wheels today, here's my first impressions.

The tires are not terribly loud and seem to have a very strong sidewall. The steering input is very precise with little...

19" wheels on a 986 are not accepted by Porsche and, depending on the wheel/tire combo, can cause problems down the road if they are heavier than the heaviest 18" wheel/tire combo Porsche authorizes....

I think you all are missing the point, there's no possible way to make a 5mm spacer that also extends the hub (like a hub centric spacer). The center hub that the wheels use to center themselves on...

One thing you might also want to consider is the class or PAX rating your car will get at an autocross with "R" compound tires. Going with the 615's or any other tire that has a wear rating greater...

In a nutshell, yes. The Kuhmo's are known to be a softer tire, that's how they were engineered. The PS2 has a very soft sidewall as well but to be fair, the sidewall in the PS2 is very...
