I suppose I was a bit confused by your post and offered confusing advice. If you want to put a new set of summer tires on your car, Hankook Ventus V12's might be a viable option on the cheap. I purchased a set of them for my previous Cayman, but I also had the 18" CS wheels, not the base 17"s. However, I'm pretty sure Hankook makes them in the 17" sized you currently use.
All season tires on a Cayman will improve things a bit, but for the winters we've been getting here lately I would highly recommend a dedicated winter tire (Blizzak's or otherwise). But remember even with dedicated tires/wheels, if the snow is about 8" or more forget it due to clearance issues. That and the abysmal job that PennDot usually does in clearing the roads out here.
I traded in my 07' base Cayman for a new Cayman S. Could not turn down the offer given by the dealership and Porsche at the time. Racking up miles though, have over 6k in the span of about 3 months. Yep, it's a daily!
