Not had Contis on the Boxster but had PZeros the PS2 are miles ahead of the PZeros, better steering & turn in, quieter you name it.

Michelin really is the answer, you will double the mileage from PZero with no (to my level of talent anyway) discernible performance loss.

PZero wear out much too quickly and I find they track badly when slightly worn, I find Conti not very confidence inspiring in the wet on Porsche but again that might just be me.

Although Continental might argue, I always find them "old technology"

Have got Conti's on mine and given my driving abilities have proven reliable in the wet and dry and seem to be wearing well, only comment is on some surfaces they can give more than expected road noise. Would certainly consider another set next time.

I have no experience of Pzero but I can say is that I agree that the Contis aren't grippy in the wet and therefore I prefer the Michelins PS2 which have never come unstuck, rain or shine.
