I run all season tires for three reasons.
1. I live at 8700 ft in the mountains of Colorado. I drive the car on nice summer weekends only, but often travel over high mountain passes, where it can snow even in the middle of summer. You never know when you might pass through a freak storm that leaves snow behind. And, it can get cold, even when it's warm when you leave the house as you travel up in altitude.
2. I have no plans to track my car.
3. They tend to last longer and are easier on my wallet.

I think I'm going to try out some Continental DWS all seasons this time. A friend out here with a 993 swears by them.

"Everybody except Joe B has reported that AS tires aren't good in snow."
I didn't say that. I have Michelin Pilot Super Sports on my Boxster and they are very very bad on snow!
