Smart choice. Even when the temps were hovering in the mid 40's I couldn't get any traction under moderate boost. I basically resorted to the shift light in the car to drive. Scary in the corners and I was worried about braking distance. 45F is the magic number to switch to winter tires.

I even switched to economy mode on my AP unit, just to limit torque, and protect my super soft winter tires from being worn too quickly from aggressive driving.

Yeah these Bridgestone's turn into Hockey pucks below about 40*.

I punched it out of a parking lot on a dry road the other day at probably 35* and the tires just spun and spun ALL the way through first.
