I have a 2001 Boxster with Pirelli P Zeros. (a summer tire)  I had driven the car to New England and got caught in an early suprise snow storm and bitter cold temps last November.  Although I needed to be careful with the throttle and brakes I did not find them very difficult to drive in snowy weather. (it was an 8 inch snow fall and roads were plowed).  I continued to drive the car as long as is was not snowing for the rest of the winter without making a change in tires and did just fine.  I suspect the warning from the manufacturer's is to cover their butt legally but in our moderate climate continueing to drive on summer tires is OK.  However I will caution you that tires that are worn to the wear bar on a Boxster dont have much grip in the rain regardless of temps so be careful cornering in the wet. (ask me how I know and I will introduce you to my friend the curb) Smile
