The choices are to get another set of rims and put winter tires on them and change when the weather gets cold and re-install summer tires in the spring, get All Season tires and give up some performance potential, get winter tire and keep changing back and forth or just don't drive when the weather is below 45. I hate seeing Boxsters wrapped around large inanimate objects because the tires let go. Ed
+1 on to cvhs. If it's cold enough to freeze water. You're car will feel like it's on ice whether there's water on the ground or not. Driving in the cold with summer tires is dangerous. This is why all season tires exist.
