Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

On the last pair on my 2000 Boxster S, there were 30,000 miles with more than 1/4 of tread left when I recently replaced the rears only; fronts have more than 1/2.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

6 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Anyone else experience a VERY poor grip on wet roads? I have Fulda Carat Extremos, and the antilock system kicks in almost immediately on wet or gritty surfaces. I drive moderately hard, but my Jag XJ8 with Sumitomos has absolutely NO problem in these conditions.. What the deal-yo?

POST 2Original post

My boxster with brand new Kumhos is absolutely scary on wet Houston roads that are usually covered in oil... water on oil-laden streets is bad for any car here, but I just park the car when it has the smallest chance of rain for this reason alone. Another tire choice with a softer compound like a Pirelli might help you, but then you'll be replacing them at least once a year... well at least the rear ones. I've never experienced a car that burns up tires so quickly when I do not spin them a lick! I still love it though. Most fun I've had with my clothes on.

POST 3Original post

They shouldn't be that bad - check your tyre pressures are correct firstly. Fulda are part of the continental group, and their tyres are pretty well regarded in Europe. Certainly rated much higher than the likes of Kumho, which seem to have a bit of a following in the US

POST 4Original post

yes I agree they should not be that bad...although I only have Michellin PilotSports on mine.... still feels pretty stable in the rain ...

POST 5Original post

Hi fellow Porsche Boxster enthusiasts. After Porsche comparisons of several brands, I favor Bridgestone Pole Position 3's. The compound changes progressively with wear. The contact patch is pleasingly sticky in wet or dry! On the last pair on my 2000 Boxster S, there were 30,000 miles with more than 1/4 of tread left when I recently replaced the rears only; fronts have more than 1/2. Several excellent alternatives from Yokohama and others are now available. Bridgestone Portenza Pole Position 3's are among the best. Kent rkh986 Portland OR
