Ideally you should have all-season tires on the car for driving through the Winter, or snow tires if you live in the snow belt.
It is unusually cold for the deep south right now. When I leave work at night I have to make a sharp left turn out of the area where I park. At that sharp of a turn angle the tire is somewhat sideways, and with a wide low profile tire, it doesn't turn as much as it skips/skids across the pavement until I straighten out the wheel......... nothing wrong with your car.
