Don't think I've seen this question posted before.

Will two 235 width Boxster tires fit (not mounted) fit in the passenger seat of a 987, and leave room for me to shift gears?

I'm en route to BRBS (currently in NC, where the temp yesteday was over 30 degrees C. Did you catch the Guenter? - it's toasty!) I may pick up some new PS2's when I cross the border back into Canada,[/quote]

Yup. Caught the 30 degrees C. Make sure you get that heater stuck in that position for next week. Love those temps with the top down. A week of that and I might actually get thawed out. B)

Re the tires. I believe you might be able to have them shipped if you're south of the border, you won't have to pay the import duty. I don't think it would be worth the risk of damaging that nice leather interior if even if they would fit.
