Do you drive an unusually high number of miles during the driving season?
This tire seems far too compromised for a three season car.
If you don't drive a high number of miles, and can afford to park the car when temps go below summer rubber recommendations, I would recommend checking out the Michelin Super Sports (best in rain) or the brand new Potenza RE-11A which is faster than the outgoing RE-11. Other Porsche drivers who drive in a "sporting manner" and look for a dedicated STREET tire like the Hankook R-S3, Dunlop Z2 or the BFG Rival.
Fast for the street, adequate for ocassional track/autox.
Tire Rack has a the Super Sports
at under $900.
There is nothing better for your sports car than fast tires. Which always makes wonder how some will spend thousands on mods and then try and save $500 on tires. Also, your wheels are probably on the heavy side so if you can swing a lighter wheel, expense-wise, now might be the time to do it since you're shopping for new rubber and any fast tire will cost you a few bucks in that particular size.
