Theres no problem with winter driving as long you have antispinn or PSM on your vehicle, but i would og for 16" wheels for winter driving, more comfy.

Thanks! Yes, that would be helpful
It came with 17 inch winterwheels, hopefully they work.
Which model is your Boxster? I clicked through some facebook pics from your profile, it seems we have some mutual friends.

By the way, I posted an answer to all replies below earlier today. When posting, a message appeared saying the post would not appear before a moderator had approved the post. But replying to the last post a couple of moments ago, my post appeared right away. Weird..?

Wow.. you basically saved NOK 11000 which is what Hurtigruta Carglass charged the previous owner for innstalling his new cab top last year..

I have a 2001 Boxster and have had the IMS Guardian installed. I also drive it in winter and bought second hand rims and snow tires -16 inch. I have no PSM so I take it easier in winter. I have driven it for two winters and never get stuck in snow.
3 inches deep is the max I drive it in. Winters are definitely hard on it. Rock chips and more rattles now. Still only 68k kms on it but still loving it!

How much did an IMS Guardian cost to install? I dont have an PSM either, so after first snowfall I will be sure to drive carefully to get to know how it behaves on snow. We get a lot of snow and I have 12 yrs of experience driving on snow so it should be fine.
I guess 7,6 cm of snow (3 inches) is a lot to handle for a normal car eiterways, and since I dont rely on driving to work or anything, I will just take the bus before they plow the snow after a hard snowfall
