I'm getting ready to pick up my Camaro 2SS which has stock summer tires on Monday in Chicago which is going to be in the 20-30 degrees range. I've been doing a lot of research and the consensus it to absolutely not drive summer tires in these kind of temperatures under any circumstances even on straight interstates. I do not plan on doing any kind of hotrodding on my way back but this has me absolutely scared to drive back home as I do not want to risk losing control.

Is my only option to have all season tires put on by the dealership right then and there? It would be an additional $1200 but I think I may be able to recover a good chunk of that by selling the stock ones (only 53 miles).
