Most mfrs even suggest that Z rated performance tires not be used below 32F.
I have done it, but it's like driving on rocks. They do warm, but don't expect much for the first mile or 2... even then! The upside of living in SoCal... one tire. Summer dry. Perfect. |

Yes, and I remember moving to CO from CA in the middle of February with a little snow on the ground and colder than all get out. Moved the cars from the carrier into the garage, my lady's 94 convertible and my 89, had to use a come-along to get them past the driveway curb up the driveway and into the garage, major pia. Not winter cars!!

Driving in the snow was never a problem. But, changing a rear wheel bearing with the car parked on a snow bank wasn't fun. |

My tires don't last long enough to worry about freeze damage during my travels.
Although these Nitto NT05s are pretty soft for a street tire. |
