I drive T1-Rs in 20-30F air temps perfectly fine. I'm not trying to drift corners or set any speed records though but there has never been a moment where I've felt they were bricks. I don't know what they're officially rated for off the top of my head, but if you don't drive like a moron, you should have absolutely no trouble.

I'm also not lowered so it doesn't particularly fit with the OP's question but I've driven ES100s on 1/4" of new snow and was able to get the 5 miles to a tire center to swap to my winters. It was VERY careful and easy driving though.

With the winter tires I've driven through 5-6" of new powder just fine and plowed through it. I drive over the mountain passes with packed snow/ice and have never had a problem.

Look at how many owners in Canada drive it daily through crazy winters.

I don't understand why so many people say "Don't do it".
