Winter Tires recommendation

[MalikMustapha]

Which winter tires would you guys recommend for the 2007 Boxster S. I have the Stock Mich Ps2's that came with the car now. Thanks

Check with Tire Rack for your size. There are probably only a couple that are available. Blizzaks would be very good.

Consider dedicated winter rims too.

In europe they suggest michelin alpin these are available in 18 and possibly 19" sizes , though i dont beleive they do a 265 width.

I would get a set of 17 inch wheels (OEM take offs) and wrap them with ContiExtremeContact. These are all-season tires, but do the job pretty well in the winter (unless you are expecting to face a lot of snow). They do very well on dry terrain, good speed rating and the noise levels are very acceptable.

That said, if you want maximum winter performance, go for dedicated snow/winter tires like others said but expect to sacrifice dry/speed performance. There is always a trade-off when it comes to tires !

I live in the Northeast and ran 16's with the ContiExtremeContacts on my 986 (base) last winter and loved it.

All the best,

Gus

Gus,

Thanks for posting this -- I just bought a set of Conti Extremes (235 & 255/18) for my 07 Boxster. I've had these tires on another car and they performed great. Glad to hear they work for you.

Regards,
