I might need to go back and correct this, but to the best of my knowledge, this is what or was available concerning Michelin Pilot fitments for 2001 Boxsters; 205/50-17 and 255/40-17 sizes:
The Pilot SX Mxx3 was N spec but havehasn't been manufactured in at least 5 years, probably more. I no longer have my 2001, but the sidewall date code might've gone back further. Some NOS might be laying around, but I had trouble getting them something like 4 years ago.
The replacement is the Pilot Sport, called the "Pilot Sport Rib" by Tire Rack, and is N spec.
There is a Pilot Sport with an aggressive V-tread that is very different from the N spec tire and the other summer only Pilots.
The Pilot Sport A/S (all season) isn't N spec. Tread looks a lot like the previous mention.
The PS2 can be N spec.
It'd be terrific if Michelin N specs the Pilot Super Sport, which I think makes a lot of sense, but to me it's likely only for recent/current fitments.
By the way, Tire Rack lists [i]N spec[/i] tires that would fit the new Boxster and Boxster S, namely the "Dunlop SP Sport Maxx GT" (18 inch) and the "Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 2" (19 inch. )
