I got my '19 bullitt two hours away from me about a month ago. Been on the stock summer only tires since, put about 500 miles on them.
I'll be going to all season rubber this weekend (have to do a final clean up on the winter set of wheels/tires and make em look all purdy)
In my 500 Miles driving in average 30-45 degree weather (sometimes in the 20's) I've learned - The first few rolls, these tires are not happy. And don't gun it when you're turning. Not that I have "gunned it" but even a slight extra bit of throttle out of the hole , and you can notice a tiny bit of loss of traction. Multiply that by the x factor (of whoever is mashing the petal) and you could get out of hand pretty quick.
All in all though I would say cold weather driving on the PS4(Summer) is "OK", especially since I'm trying to follow proper engine break in procedure. even for some lightly "spirited driving" but definitely not recommended for any serious test of the cars limits, or in the extreme cold or wet.

Yeah, my Continental ECS's are fine if its dry down to 30-35 degrees. You aren't going to damage them. Made it all the way to mid-december this year in Chicago before putting on the mushy winter tires. When it's 30 and wet, it can be slick, no doubt!

Lived here my whole life dude, it used to be much better and I used to be proud to say I was from Chicago. Not anymore, it's changed a lot!

I'm excited to pick up the Green Beast tomorrow AM.
The weather looks to be cold but DRY all the way home. I'm gonna play nice with it all the way.
the temps will not break 40 until I get well into Texas. Some rain is scheduled for Sunday AM.
16.5 hours of drive time. probably a road side nap along the way.

This is what I would do as well. Just put them in large plastic bags or put down towels to keep your interior and trunk nice.

I spoke with a tech from Michelin and they didn't have an issue with the straight line drive home at 32F for much of the drive. Secondly, new All Season tires from Ford were 2 weeks out. 
The dealer is putting the car in the service bay overnight so that I'll start out with room temp tires in the AM.
I'm also gonna put it in granny/snow mode and take it easy.
I'll post some pics as along the way.
