Those temps will dramatically change tire compound interaction with road> Under 50 degrees ambient temperature will dramatically change how the tire compound reacts. My friend ran toyo's and got one season out of them and below 50 that tire was so hard he had to drive like a grandmother to keep it under control. At my mechanics advice I've been on Pilot S4's and have gotten great mileage and while I do feel a change in grip somewhere in the sub 50 it is not dramatic.
