Quick question for the font of all knowledge.

1998 2.5 Boxster.

255/40/ZR17 – Rear

205/50/ZR17 – Front

Need to get some new rears asap as looks like I’m off to Spa in it next week and would rather have more than the current 2.5mm of tread knowing the weather round those parts. I will be looking at getting the fronts done in a couple of month based on planned outings as they have over 3mm left on them.

At the moment it’s Goodyears all round but I can’t help thinking that I’d like to try something different. So should I stick with what I know or order some Bridgestones?

Or should I be looking in a totally different (possibly French?) direction.

Cheers,

RB

Michelins are the best in my experience.

I have Dunlop SP sports all round and they seem great in wet and dry.

If you can find a set of SO2's (NOT the A's) just do it. Simply unbelievable on a Boxster yes
