I switched to Kumho all-seasons on the Boxster I just bought, because I don't drive that much (<7500 mi per year), and I've always had all-seasons on all my cars in SE PA. I don't have to drive in snowstorms, and wait until the roads are plowed. I had all-seasons on my old Z3 for two years, and never had any problem in the winter. And the Boxster, being mid-engined, should have more traction--even with 18" wheels.
The important thing here about all-seasons is temperature--they don't lose their traction in dry or wet roads below 40 F, as summer tires do. True snow tires are mainly used in my area on trucks that need to be out in snowstorms. Funny I can recall 30 years ago when people would put studded snow tires on the rears--not true anymore. Maybe there's less snow. Maybe all-seasons weren't made then. You do want the ones that read "M + S", as the Kumho ASXs do.
