I've seen pics of it - I think more common for Corvettes and larger tires. But I've heard enough first-hand reports of people driving well into winter temps w/o visible damage that I take this as a caution rather than a prohibition. The big reason not to do it is the craptastic traction you get at those low temps, especially before the carcass warms up. If you want to enjoy the car during those seasons, then an all-season would be worth it, but probably not necc for just getting it along the road. And on the flip side, I drove a set of Conti winter tires thru into July (car was being traded in then) - I'd expected them to be corded by June, but it didn't produce much noticeable wear.
