Running the p-zeros in the southeast winter?

I'm living in Memphis, TN, and I just go a 2014 RS. I just want to know your opinion on running the stock p-zeros during the winter in the south? Thanks!

I have run them year around in Birmingham, but they do lose traction when it gets below 40 degrees. I parked my car if there was any chance of snow or ice, as much as, I don't trust the southern drivers in those conditions, as lack of traction from the p-zeros.

I ran my P-Zeros up in Seattle back when I had my SS, and frankly, the climate hasn't been that different here in Durham in the winter. A little colder overall, however same amount of snow.

If it gets close to freezing (or below), the tires will harden up below 40 degrees, sometimes getting a flat spot if it sits overnight in stuff like that.

I ended up replacing them with Continental Extreme DWS, and they worked great.
