Even been out for over an hour at highway speeds at 34 degrees and I promise they were hockey pucks.

Agree with syno, I have driven on mine in 30* weather and it was a mistake and even after running on the highway they were still ice cold. Had a fall autox and they had zero traction in 40* weather too. Summer tires do not heat up enough to be truly safe in cold weather when you are on the street. I can break traction in 5th gear in the winter while in summer it's only 3rd. If you are going to run summer tires in an area that gets cold in the winter, either have a 2nd car or do yourself a favor and get a set of all seasons at a min.
