Hi Jonner - presume you have 16" wheels?

I have always done really well out of Toyo's. A lot of people use Goodyear Eagle F1's too.

But can you not delay it and get which ones you want?

Event don't do foreign countries, like the North of Engerland & across the water, etc.

S02s are virtually extinct.

TBH Jonner, I'd run yer old S-02s slick. I really dislike the RE050as.

try blackcircle tyres mate..

You order the tyres through them to a local tyre fitting place near you that works with BC - used them before for getting tyres and were very good..

What's the general thought on the Porsche Boxter S-02's?

Very oversteery.

I accidantally got them on the back only, so I dunno if you're gonna get that nasty floaty stuff on the front like the RE050as
