It's best to stay off summer tires like the stock Advans in cold climates until it warms up. The tires are like hockey pucks in temperatures lower than 40F so rather than ruining a perfectly good car, invest in some cheapo all-season tires until the warmer climate comes and you can really flog your car safely on the Advans or a comparable summer only tire set.

Endangering my life as well as my fiancee's along with my car is not worth saving money. Even when there's snow/ice on the road, the ABS kicks in and the car refuses to stop on the stock Advans a normal stop decelerating from 20mph; imagine if there's an accident in front that's not visible because of fog, you're driving slowly, all of a sudden you need to stop but your car just keeps on sliding.
Personally trying to save $500 is not worth the headache of an accident, dealing with an insurance company, being without my car for weeks, etc. I like having the piece of mind that no matter what the weather may be, I can drive my car without worrying about an item that accelerates, turns, and brakes my car; the tires. All the power, suspension, and brake mods in the world won't do much if the tires aren't up to the task.
