Tires


Recommended Posts

Have to replace my pirelli Nero rears at short notice, thinking of Michelin ps2 for the rear only and keeping the pirelli Nero on the front, until I have to replace them too

I've only had pirelli on my Boxster ... Rossi and Nero .I've had some"manufacturers deformities " with the pirelli's

And may need to make a change

Any feed back is welcomed!

I drive her every other day but love to her lose in the mountains

Peace

I've had the ps2's for 3 years(2002 Boxster s), and love them. Over the years on other vehicles I've never regret putting Michelin's on them. But when I've tried other makers, at first I'm in love with the tire. Then about it's half life I'm like this tire, umm, sucks.

I noticed you had problems with your Pirelli's. I'm sure you liked them at first but after a while..., problems. That's my point, works great at first, then degrades to a somewhat satisfactory performance that you can live with but not liking it.

I've never experienced that with a Michelin tire. I loved them in the end as much as I did in the beginning. My everyday driver is a Ford 2008 Expedition, stock with Pirelli's, after 30,000 replaced with Michelin's and a world of difference.

Ps2's all the way. All though they may not be the best on snow, yikes! I had to drive a few blocks this year

Three options...

Replace worn tires with same model as on the car now.

Replace only worn tires on same axle with other higher priced tires.

Replace all 4 with lower priced but recommended by owners tires. Kumho and Sumitomo are the usual brands that come up in discussions.

Consider getting the rear suspension aligned to favor even tire wear by someone who really knows Boxsters and how to align them. Made a world of difference on my car.
