winter
I'm on Dunlops which are fine in snow. I don't drive in deep snow much (my wife won't drive in snow so i drop her off and drive her car).
My big winter concern is the lack of dry (mostly braking) traction under 40 degrees. I used to drive on summer tires on clear winter days but learned that traction goes off dangerously.

Beautiful 356! Do you do any PCA events? Because I would love to see that car!
My wife and I are debating getting a third car for me to drive in the winter. My wife is semi-retired, and she just took delivery of a new Macan. So...if I could get through most winter days with the Boxster on winter tires, we were thinking I might steal her car when the weather is really bad and save ourselves a car payment.
Timco -- not trying to hijack your thread! This is the stuff most of us New England folks deal with when it comes to Boxsters and weather. Two schools of thought up here -- store it (no salt on my baby!), and drive it (made to be driven!).
