No, it comes with Summer-only tires that
DO NOT work in winter.
And by do not work i mean they give you absolutely 0 grip in winter conditions, no matter how careful you may try to drive, or think you can get away with some short distance driving.
Any cracking/damage/etc is dependant on the condition of the rubber and how the rubber is affected by the weather (which i think just hardens and ends up becoming like a hockey puck)
You're way overthinking it. This isnt the only car that ever gets equipped with OEM summer only tires.
Any car can handle winter as long as you know what your doing and are properly equipped for it.
I think some people just put on "winter performance" tires and expect to be able to go autobahn running with very little issues.....then they cry that their overpowered performance machine cannot be an overpowered winter performance machine because you know...winter.
Every winter im seeing SUV's and trucks in a ditch (in addition to the random car). If 5 cars are getting stuck going down a slippery or snow packed road...i sure as hell arent going to try being "that one guy" who MIGHT make it.
