The high performance tires that most of us put on Boxsters are summer tires - they are optimized for high speed maximum traction and high wall strength for turning in warm temperatures.
Yeah I didn't realize all this until a few years ago and I've had my Boxster for 16 years... I thought the same - that the traction is not the greatest in the winter because it's not an all season tire, but I didn't realize that it could actually be dangerous and I've had three close calls during cold weather due to poor traction and not being aware.
