MN winters are worse than most but I can also tell you that driving summer performance tires (Hankooks or Michelins I have had both) in below freezing weather, regardless of how clear the roads are, can be downright scary. I finally stopped gambling and got snow tires on cheap wheels. I'd save it for emergency only, certainly not something I'm any longer willing to do just for a change of pace away from the winter beater (Saturn Vue). The rubber compounds used simply are not meant for it and have stupidly poor traction.
