in fact advises the tires should not be used in temps below 32 degrees F. There is also very little grooving and absolutely no siping in that tire for traction on slippery surfaces. If you plan to go within sight of snow switching to one of the afforementioned all-season tire designs is MANDATORY.

The OEM Advan's are "Summer Only". They should never, under any circumstances be driven in any kind of snow.
