What is a good all season tire for the Boxster any suggestions? Just bought a 2001 S and it has all season's on the front but I believe summer tires on the back. Thanks in advance.

If you're going to use the car during winter months, it's better to mount dedicated snow tires on narrower rims. Personally, I wouldn't be worried about looks or handling performance, just traction. Even all season tires become useless when there's freezing rain(frequent in the Northeast) and the road is iced over, hard packed snow, or sub-zero temps. Blizzaks have surprisingly good traction even on ice and remain soft even down to -50F.
