If you will be using your Boxster throughout the winter, using it as your daily driver and don't have the space to get a second set of dedicated snow tires like me, perhaps a good performing all season tire will work.
I just got a set of Continental ExtremeContact DWS. They are very comfortable, grips great in wet, and Tire Rack surveys them as pretty good in the dry and better than average in snow. They do feel a little soft in steering response though. Slightly twitchy at speeds above 90. I paid about $690 for the set.
I don't track my car so I'm pretty pleased with them. My complaints are the cushy sidewalls and the tires seem slightly out of round. The shop double checked the balance but they have a slight vibration at speeds above 80. I'll keep driving them and see if they improve.
But I have to wait til the car comes back from the collision shop first.
