The tires will basically turn into hockey pucks during the winter, I basically use it as an excuse to keep me in check. I don't think its as bad as some say, but I definitely wouldn't be doing any spirited driving on the stock bridgestones in cold weather.

on the bright side, the heater works great in conjunction with the engine heat that people complain about during the summer

A cold summer tire in sub 40 degree weather is EXTREMELY dangerous if you aren't careful. They take about 15 minutes of normal driving to get warmed up and then you are going to be OK, but when they're cold you have very little traction at all. I always make sure I leave a longer following distance because an emergency stop on cold summer tires in winter =
