Yes, summer tires aren't great below freezing but you're making it sound like they're going to shatter like the T1000 after a nitrogen bath. Just don't drive like an idiot. You'll not only survive the drive home, but be able to use the tires again. While I haven't polled all the tens of thousands of owners, I'm willing to go out on a limb and suggest that the vast majority of them drove the factory tires all year 'round. I know I did. Now I know down here in Texas we only get about a week a year below freezing but somehow I didn't die or even crash during that one-week-freeze-ageddon.

Funny, because it was
this very forum that insisted driving summer tires below the glass transition temperature would significantly damage them, complete with supporting evidence.
