Take it VERY EASY...I learned (the hard way) about the dangers of driving summer performance tires in cold weather. And I wasn't even having to contend with snow (rainy, low 40s). That rubber gets really hard and loses the vast majority of its grip...NO hard accelerations and NO hard turns at speed!
