There have been some forum members arguing that you can use these tires in colder temperatures.
We have recently seen cases of these tires compound cracking due to the tires being stored/driven on in temperatures below 45 Fahrenheit.
This is not a condition that Pirell's warranty covers.
Summer tires are not intended to be driven in cold/snow or ice. Not only is traction a huge issue it can also damage your tires.
Please let me know if you have any questions.

An interesting conflict of warranty when the cars are built in Canada and sit in a parking lot for days or weeks. Then they are shipped to dealers all over the US and Canada to sit outside on their parking lots.
