I am considering a new Cayman S with the 20" wheel option.

I live in New England and plan to use the Cayman for maybe one day a week and weekends. It will be garaged and unused in the heavy snow months (Jan-Fed). I do not have an extra spot for garaging it for these two months so it will be offsite. My daily drive will be in the garage for the heavy snow months.

So, I would like to still drive it in the 'shoulder' snow months (Dec and Mar), but the Summer tires that come on it (20" s) may not be good for the low temps we experience in those months. Thus I was considering replacing the stock summer tires with a high performance all season.

Has anyone else taken this approach? Any recommendations? Through casual searching it appears I may have a difficult time finding an exact size (width) match for the stock tires. Will performance be impacted too greatly?

Thoughts appreciated

Weather same here in Toronto. I would get a spare set of wheels, used to save a few bucks and down a size, during the transition months.

I've never run all seasons on a sports car but friends who have thought there was something wrong with their car after the change. They're not good in warm dry weather and not that good in snow, I would not recommend it.

I would advise against All Season tires on your car. They will be a compromise in the summer (manageable) and a liability in the winter (not safe) especially in that size tire - of course IMHO.
