To the OP, all season tires are piss poor in my opinion over ice patches. Thus if the Boxster has any chance of seeing freezing temps, dedicated winter tires
are must have.
My concern is not so much snow, a mildly decent all season can handle that as long as its no more than fluff no deeper than an inch, but once you hit the first ice patch with the rears going into or out of a turn, all bets are off. An all season tire may handle the cold temps a bit better than a sticky summer tire but that's about it. The compound is nearly useless for ice and the tread is all wrong for snow. Unless you live in an area where weather goes from hot to ice and back to hot in a single season these tires are a safety hazard in this car.
