Boxster 25 tyre recommendations

[flow99]

My wife’s Boxster 25 needs a couple of rear tyres, and as the fronts don’t have much life, thinking about changing from the current PZero’s. Never used on track so just general daily driving.
Have Michelins on my other cars, so tempted with changing to Michelins on the Boxster.
Any recommendations?

N rated PS4S if going Michelin, the non N rated ones are really soft and lose all the steering feel.


Bridgestone Potenza Sport EVO are really good.


Continental Sport Contact 7 in the XL is also really good too.



The new Pirelli P Zero 5 is meant to be a really good too.



I think any will be better than what you have now which really are a poor tyre unless the weather is really hot and dry.




My choice would be...


1st Bridgestone
2nd Conti
3rd PS4S N rated.

I'll need 4 new tyres by the end of the year and I'll be sticking with the pirellis and I'm hoping the PZ5 will be out in 20 inch by then. Never had any issues with lack of grip in the cold or wet and my pressures are set at 32psi when cold.

Several have reported a lack of turn in feel on the MPS4S as the side wall is slightly 'squishy'. I've had both and, in honesty, I prefer the PZ4.

You've probably opened a can of worms now though.

PS4S Michelins on mine and probably wouldn't have anything else as they are pretty good all rounders Don't like Pirellis, I find they understeer in the wet.
