I read conflicting opinions as to whether or not to keep the stock tires on all winter.

If you have another car, especially a beater, I would drive the beater when you can in the winter. I drove my SS numerous times this winter, the mornings here in NC do get into the 20s, teens, and even sometimes single digits. I drove in the 20s, it was fine, but the key is to have the car in a warm garage like mine, so the tires are warm in the morning. When it gets really cold or the occassional snow/ice, I drive in with the wife in our SRX.

Yeah. I'm leaning toward the beater idea. Like you, my garage is heated so I can drive the Camaro on 'nice' days.
On the other hand, my wife bought me a Roto-Fab CAI for my birthday. Maybe I can talk her and my daughter into buying me a set of cheap wheels and all seasons for Christmas.

Planning to drive my other car when it's cold/icy/snowy, Camaro on other days when it's not so cold if there's not too much salt/crap on the roads. My other car is not really a 'beater', though.

I made it sound worse than it actually is. It is not really a beater. It is just an older TOYOTA
