Anything below 7C as an average its time for winter tires or at least some capable all seasons. Id hate to hear about accidents that can be avoided.
Which is why I was driving SLOW, and my winter tires are going on tomorrow. I'm very aware of what happens to these summer tires in cold temps. No education needed.
