Do you have snow tires? Or all-seasons?

If you still have the OEM tires, then DON'T DO IT!

The OEM tires are summer only, and become ROCK HARD below ~40 degrees. Even on a dry street, if it's cold you will have very poor traction. It'd not worth hitting a curb, or another car for one or two days in the winter. If you have winter tires, then go for it.
ive been running my summer BFG's all year no probs... just no driving in actual snow. but i drove it normally 2 weeks ago when it was -19 outside no probs on summer tires!!

That's dangerous advice.

As long as you don't have to turn or stop, you'll be fine!
