Tires?
The ContiSport 2s on the front of the Boxster are nearing the end of their useful life. I think that they are the original tires--33K miles isn't bad, but they are pretty cooked by now.
The rears are PS2s of some indeterminately more recent vintage. They don't need to be replaced yet, but they aren't new. So, I could go with PS2s for the front, and leave the rears...but that probably means a set of PS2s for the rear next year. I'm happy enough with the PS2s, but they are crazy expensive. Alternately, I could go for a full set of Advan Neovas AD-08s. The Porsche won't really get driven when it's very cold, and I'm on track to put about 6K miles a year on it (maybe), so going with a more focused tire makes some sense. Are those any good? Other options in the stock size according to Tire Rack are the Potenza RE-11 and RE-050A, the Conti 3, and the Eagle F1 Aysmmetric. Any thoughts on those? Any other choices? |
