Tire question/recommendation

I have a '03 Boxster (beautiful Teal Metallic). I recently got a flat on a front tire & didn't realize it in time to save the tire. So I had to get 2 new front tires. My previous tires were Bridgestone RE760 Sports & I really liked them. Discount Tire told me they are not made anymore & that their computer recommended either a Falken all-season sport or a Bridgestone Potenza RE97 A/S-02. I went with the Bridgestones.

When I went to get them put on & noticed that they looked a lot less sporty than the older tires. Turns out they are all season sport tires. I only drive the car in good weather, but I do live 1 mile up a gravel road in SW Colorado. I don't do any track driving, but do drive on fun, twisty roads & often take road trips (well, before COVID).

Should I keep these more all-weather tires? After I complained they suggested the Potenza RE71Rs as a sportier alternative. But those look like racing tires.

Suggestions, feedback? Thanks
