Default Need new tires...any suggestions

Hey Guys,

I need to replace the rear tires on my 98 boxster with 18 inch wheels. Any suggestions on what tires to buy? I don't race my car but usually drive at an average speed of about 80mph +- 10%.

Any guidance would be extremely helpful

Regards,
Aman

What is important to you? Comfort, longevity, dry traction, wet traction, looks, cost, noise, cornering response, toughness, snow/ice capability, weight, reliability?

Aman - on my 2000 Boxster S I liked the Pirelli P Zero Rossa better than the Bridestone S03, The Rossa uses some super high tech stuff in the sidewall (under license from Allied signal), the tire is much lighter than the Michelin or Bridgestone and very supple. Excellent stick wet or dry and an improved ride over sharp bumps. Not cheap but I liked them a lot.
