Winter driving without PSM?

[svenscot]

Thanks a lot. I guess I'll look for tires and rims and take it from there. I've seen other posts confirming 17's for the Boxster S and for tires the Dunlop M2 or M3 getting better reviews than Blizzaks. M2 also approved on the Porshe tech bulletin (but not the M3...?) I think that even if I end up still wanting the All Wheel Drive on the C4, the winter wheels would be the same.

If anyone is selling the wheels I need please let me know!

Dunlop M3 winter sports are great tires any time the temp is below 50 degrees. They handle extremely well and are quiet. I almost hate taking them off in the Spring.

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.
