Retroman, be really careful on those Michelin Pilot Sports. I nearly had my Boxster swap ends when I took my foot off the gas on a snowy, slight downhill while driving on Pilot Super Sports. I switched to Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 3s which are much better. I'd use snow tires, but when the roads are snowy I try to only drive my F 250 4x4, or my wife's BMW 325xi which has Blizzaks and handles snow like a snowmobile!
Of course this winter I've been able to drive the Boxster nearly every day. I wish we had gotten some of the snow that they got back east this year!

Drove my 01 with snow tires and a hardtop most of the winter, no issues.
