Hey guys, occasional lurker, first time poster here. I drive a 2011 Boxster, and have been switching out Michelin PS2s with Sottozeros back and forth every year.

The PS2s start having performance issues around 50F and below, and I know the Sottozeros aren't recommended as year-round tires. The thing is... it's just a total pain to switch them 2x/year. I've decided to eat the performance hit and just get all-season tires.

That said, looking online it looks like there are slim pickings for the normal 17" wheels. Does anybody have any recommendations for 17" all-season tires? Sizes are 205/55R and 235/50R. This is a daily driver, not a track car. Never driven above 120mph, although I do like to accelerate quickly once the car is warmed up. I live in northern VA, and we get occasional snow.
