Best tyres for a Boxster S 3.2?

I'm sure that you'll find endless "advice" on these and other forums if you want to search.!
If you're not bothered about having Porsche N-rated tyres and aren't interested in ultimate handling characteristics you could perhaps try Goodyear F1 Assymetrics. Michelin Pilot Sports are always a reliable choice and favoured by the track-day fraternity, and although Pirelli P-Zeros often get a caning in some reviews, as a Club member you can get a £100 gift card if you buy 4 tyres (see page 90 in this month's Porsche Post).

Jeff has summarised things nicely. I just wanted to add that, while the Goodyears are not the most popular choice, I really like them. Had them on a previous Cayman, never experienced any lack of grip (including track days) and found them a "comfortable” tyre.
Best of luck with your choice.

I may be wrong but I don't recall anyone on here recommending Falkens, but that's not to say that they couldn't be a decent left-field choice. Most people tend to go with the more established manufacturers like Continental, Goodyear, Michelin and maybe Dunlop who have an established relationship with Porsche and who produce Porsche approved N-rated tyres. Falken are establishing a reputation for decent tyres in the market place and seem to do quite well in the reviews, although I'm not sure about its sporty offering.

Have them on my touring use only 987.2 on 19" rims, N rated, and the car runs well, straight and assuring in the wet too.
Rather think you get what you pay for with tyres and brakes, but really boils down to what you do with the car in general?
