I will be needing tires in the next 6 months or so. I can't imagine many people have winter tires here. What do you summer tire users do in the winter? I know the no snow thing isn't a huge deal but I thought they start to go south when it gets below 35 deg. or so.
When it gets really cold, just be careful and don't push too hard and you will be fine on summer tires.
I took my car on a ski trip last winter. We got almost a foot of snow that weekend and I had the WRX with summer tires and it handled it like a champ. Just don't go fast or put it in neutral.
They just get a bit slippery'er than usual when things get cold. Really not that big a deal as it's not usually dangerous, just remember you won't have the same amounts of grip as when it's nice and warm.
