For what it's worth I drove a fair bit this winter on them in 25 degrees. No damage. I kept and eye on it though. Had to brave cold nights getting to VIR and NCCAR for early season sessions. I even drove through snow for a few miles before vir. Have 11 - 12 heat cycles since with no evidence of a negative effect. I don't recommend it all but thought I'd offer.
