Thoughts? Snow, ice, the usual but typically dry in winter. I'll probably just leave these on into summer.

I put 225/45/ZR17 on front and 255/40/ZR17 on rear then a full alignment. I don't track my car but drive it daily. Excellent tires. I have Michelin A/S on my MB wagon 4-matic and they are very good, as well. I went with the DWS for the Boxster because of several rec's and their known premium quality for a a/s tire. I paid $675 (including tax) for 4 new DWS tires mounted and balanced.

Sorry, what are DWS? Which brand is that?

Continental DWS (Dry, Wet Snow). I am a Michelin guy but these DWS's series seem to have their niche in this market. Again, for the daily driving 12 months a year. You can't go wrong with either brand but from a value and quality standpoint Continental has Michelin beat in this area in my opinion.
