Yep. I've only once had a tread puncture that needed to be plugged immediately (nearly 30 years ago, not in the Boxster). Most of the time they are very slow leaks. Twice in the last 10 years that I've owned the boxster, I've had sidewall cuts due to the super low profile tires (235 35 19 fr - 265 35 19 rr)
