Tires for 2002 Boxster S

[Flavor 987S]

If it were me, I'd buy a set of Michelin's new Super Sports, and not drive it in the snow.

Summer performance tires are terrible in the cold, not to mention how bad in snow. The rubber compound hardens up in cold and looses most of it's traction capabilities.

I have not tried them, but a frient has the michelin all seasons on his boxster S and loves them. He is also a very aggressive driver. I personally have multiple sets of rims and run bridgestone blizzaks in the winter.

I drive my Boxster base in winter in the snow and run the blizzaks in winter with no problem. I dont know about Colorado but snow tires in winter on a Boxster in Canada are highly recommended. I do not know about all season tires but I will drive in snow about 3 inches or less with winter tires.

It depends on whether you ever INTEND to drive in snow. The handling of any all-season will be very "sloppy" compared to a Summer tire. I don't like to compromise driving all Summer for a handful of Winter drives.

Don't be afraid of running Pilot Super Sports in the winter, rumors of instant death are GREATLY exaggerated! They handle the cold better than my old PS2's. I've run them at 20° with no problem. Yes, they have reduced grip, just don't try and take your favorate ramp at "Summer speeds". They will still have more grip than 95% of the grocery-getters on the road. Just don't get caught in a snow!
