I am sure there are plenty of people on this site that know a lot more than me about this subject, but I am under the impression that below 45 degrees F, your summer tires just don’t stick all that well. They should be fine for running you to the store and back, but if you are looking to enjoy that twisty run through Bear Mountain or something, I would think about a good set of winter tires.
Good point Dr. Anyone else who knows more about this pls chip in. I would think the tires would warm up after few turns and I wouldn't be driving it if it's below 40 deg F, dry, and most likely sunny. But, 90% chance I'll store it, anyway. So looks like tomorrow will be the day. Once the tires go 58psi and the battery goes out of the car, end of story -- temptations be damned.
