I'm just going to add you to my ignore list and move on because you're clearly just trolling us at this point.
Dude.....yes, if the roads are literally icy, that's one thing. Deep snow or ice aren't for summer tires. That's been stated multiple times. And if your car is "sliding backwards down the slightest hill in the parking lot", that's not "33F & 1/8" of snow", that's sheet ice. And it wouldn't matter what tires you had on your car.Tell that to me when my car is sliding backwards down the slight hill in the parking lot. Or the merest whiff of throttle and smidge of clutch lights up the tires and I go nowhere or starts to swing the ass around. I eventually had to resort to using just clutch and relying on the anti-stall ECU feature to get rolling.
But sure, I bow to your superior skills and finely-honed Detroit sensibilities.
Dude… come on, that’s obviously because you just have no idea how to handle a car. Summer tires are called summer for a reason! Obviously it’s because they’re meant to be used in the middle of winter in sub-freezing conditions! Only an idiot wouldn’t be able to figure that out. In fact, the manufacturer website actually does state to change from summer over to winter or at least all season tires when the temperatures are going to be below freezing, and there is countless information online about why summer tires in cold temps are a terrible idea, but it’s all nonsense! Summer tires were specifically made for the winter and cold temperatures, and MUST be used in such conditions. Anyone who even remotely considers all season tires or snow tires for cold temps and snowy weather seriously needs their head checked out.Tell that to me when my car is sliding backwards down the slight hill in the parking lot.

And no I won't sell you any of my collection of winter or UHP A/S tires and instead just chuck the pile of PS4S at your head.
Oh yes!
My studded Hakka tires would like a word with you.
there this nifty button called "ignore" if you hover your mouse over the username.
Depending on what your finances are and your ability to pay, there are other options to make purchases for tires. You can go the route of "Lease-to-Own" which is always a viable alternative for consumers to get what they want right now and pay for it later. There is Progressive Leasing and Snap Finance, which is what we offer. I personally have gone this route several times to purchase wheels/tires using the standard lease agreement of 12 months to ownership purchase option. It's simple and affordable, with no credit needed, and there's a quick application process with flexible payment options. I say all of this to say that there are some options out there I stop short of telling folks how to live their lives, I'm just passing along the information whether you know or not. If you need any help with anything, Please feel free to contact me and I'd be happy to help you.
Welcome, Greg! It's always a pleasure having the opportunity to engage with new members of the Mustang community. I hope you find your way and can meet others like yourself and enjoy the true purpose of the forum, to share info and brainstorm collectively. Again, I'd like to send a warm Welcome My Friend.
Do not use, roll, or drop MICHELIN UHP Sport Summer tires with temperatures below 20°F (-7°C). If the tires have been cooled to 20°F (-7°C) or less, let them warm up in a heated space to at least 40°F (5°C) before being installed or moving a vehicle on which they are installed.
Interesting fact is that in wet the stopping distance on a Summer tire is less than the stopping distance on a Winter tire by 16 meters. This info straight from the Goodyear brand ambassador in my country. Ether way once it get's freezing you better not be on the Summer tires.
I spent a few years in Bonita, still have family in Ponta Vedra and Tampa.
Ok, you asked, I'll show. Direct off the Michelin website you posted a link to. On their tire and tips section regarding the different seasonal type of tires:
