Need new tires for Boxster 2000 18' wheels

[oracle10g]

<_<

Anyone with the 18' tires? I need to replace the back tires. Thinking about the Conti Sports since they were the original ones that were on the car when I bought it and it felt very good then, even though a bit noisy.

I mostly drive the car to work one day round trip is about 80 miles and therefore I need tires that last a little more than just pure performance tires.

The three options are:

1. Conti sports.

2. Bridestone S02/S03?

3. Pirelli Rosso.

Thanks for any advise.

I am liking the new rosso's on my 996 so far. They got a cool "rim saver" lip too.~

Are your new Russo's quiet? What brand/model of tire did you replace?

Replaced the Pirelli Asym, with Pirelli Asym Rosso's: Also wnet to 285's in the rear. Discount tire had them on sale everything out the door for $1k. The Rosso's are about 20% quieter so far and feel alot softer and stickier in the grip in the turns
