I didn't put anyone's life in danger.

Going to give you a little hint. This is a college town and the kids weren't back yet, so Monday morning there was almost zero traffic.
Further, as far as storing these things below 20 degrees. Well, it goes below 20 degrees a few days a year here if that. I had a garage when I bought the car. I don't now. Shit happens. Now my tires get cold on those few days. Nothing I can do about it. I'm moving next year, I'd like to move somewhere with a garage, no guarantees. I'll deal with it as I have to.
I wasn't showing off or bragging that I was out hauling ass around in cold weather, simply sharing with people so they might know what to expect in case they have to do the same.

I was making a general statement, not directed at you specifically if you notice I said you guys! I have experienced those tires coming out of a warm garage at 40 degrees outside and they were still like hockey pucks. I just don't want to see anyone get hurt, especially if they find out you violated manufactures recommendations, I don't know how that would go in court but not worth it.
