I bought these tires because I wanted to keep within the specs that Porsche has for the 2005 Boxster everything else in the size which was a 265 4018 was twice as much. I paid $87 for the rear and they’re staggered 235 4018s upfront I paid $75 a piece for those I had continental DSW‘s for six years on this vehicle and I needed to make a change because I could not afford a set of the continental DSW‘s
Having said that I’m not disappointed with the way they drive taking a turn in the continental I was able to go a little bit faster, there is give in the sidewall at higher speeds, but this vehicle is not about high speed. It’s about cornering and the tire is smooth it grips and punches way above its price. I’ve only put 500 miles on them, but I am very happy with the performance and would do it again. I was really worried that I would feel a major difference. but after watching the review on this website, I was encouraged and took the plunge. I’m very pleased
