Very wide summer tires get cold in the winter. You don't notice it in the summer because the tires are soft. But in the winter, when they get cold and stiff, you'll feel and hear the outer edges of the tires "skipping" when you are making sharp turns at low speeds because the outer edge of the tire has to travel much further than the inner edge.
It goes away after a few minutes of driving and the tire warms up. It also goes away in the spring when the tire isn't cold and stiff.
Also, get a set of winter tires if you plan on driving in cold temps.
