Which tire
Need to replace the Contis on my Wife's Boxster. (Just noticed that the rears are worn through to the cords, yikes)
Tire Rack has
Continental ContiSportContact 2
and
Bridgestone Potenza RE050A

I'm familiar with the Contis as they are the current set. Anybody had experience with the Bridgestones?

These are for my Wife's car and she's more concerned with noise and tire life than max performance...

Heard good things about the Goodyear F1, but don't know if they have your size? Check with Tire-Rack, I am sure they can help.

All these tires wear out fast...

I'm not a fan of *any* Continental tires.

I really like the Michelin Pilot Sports.

However, she might like the Dunlops (forgot the specific model) as they are *softer*...

Thanks for all the good advice. After reading about seven different reviews, all of which seem to like a different tire best, I ended up just getting another set of Contis. Tire Rack had them at a good price and they drop shipped them to an installer about 3 min from my house.
Personally, I also like the Michelins better (I have those on my CS) but I decided that they were not worth the extra $ for the Boxster.
