As long as you're not doing 130 down the interstate in 30F, you're fine. Just be careful.
I suspect poster DSTR is German or from another country where winter tires are required in the winter.

I got my M4 on the 22nd of Dec last year - In Switzerland it came with summer tires.

My 2 trips on them were to home, then to the shop to put winter tires on.

Not everywhere's like Germany I guess

I drove 1200 miles home including through a mild snowstorm on P4Ss. Ideal, no? Was it fine, 100%. Just drive with caution and you’ll be fine.

Alberta doesn't have mandatory winter tire law?? Are you kidding me The local authorities are out of this world.
