All season tires are always a compromise, so most won't recommend them. Just buy an extra set of wheels (used) and mount some good winter tires on them. (I liked my Dunlop Wintersport M3s...great in snow but also decent when it's a little dryer.) Mount them just before first snowfall and remove them in Spring.

FYI 17" wheels should fit your 996. They'll look a little "weak" but will likely be cheaper to find used.
