I've run the Blizzak LM22s on our cars for the last 2 years or so and have had excellent results on snow and ice. If I was driving my 986S in the winter, I wouldn't hesitate trying it. My brother also uses the same time to great results. I also have had Pirelli SnowSports on my '99 M3, which was my daily driver but now my summer/track car. It never left me stranded but I like the feedback on the Blizzaks better.

I've been using Amsoil 20W-50 (Series 2000 synthetic racing oil) in my '99 BMW M3 track car for several years now and have been very happy with the results; and yes, it works fine away from the track as I still drive the M3 on the street. Other trackies also swear by their product. I haven't tried it in my Boxster as it's still under warranty but once its warranty ends, I would not hesitate using Amsoil products. As for engine additives, many automobile manufacturers strongly advise against them as they may contain compounds that damage components. I guess a similar situation is when BMW introduced Nikasil cylinder lining in its V8 engines in the mid 90's and suffered major warranty claims in North America because we use petrol that contains higher level of sulphur and it corroded the cylinder bores prematurely. BMW had to replace many of these expensive V8s in the 5 and 7 series automobiles and changed manufacturing processes to replace the Nikasil lining in these V8 motors.
