The attorney in the building next door drives his Boxster all winter on a set of snow tires he had mounted up for him at Tire Rack. I've seen him out there in some hellacious road conditions up here in boston and he says he has no problems at all. On heavy snow days (eg; blizzard) he won't drive it mostly because of the limited ground clearance. But once the plows scrape the roads he's back out there. He did say he doesn't have any steep hills to traverse.

Mine stays in the garage most of the winter because I only have P Zero's on it but one of these days I think I'll spring for some snows just so I get a longer driving season. The thought of road salt on the body, rims and undercarriage does make me flinch.
