Yep, bought my car 9 December, and it was +5 or 10 degrees Celsius. The next day was the same, the day after that it was -6 and snowing. The only reason I drove the car was to go to the tire shop to get the snow tires that were in my trunk mounted ASAP. With only a few millimeters of snow on the ground, it was a terrible experience.
Personally, my safety isn't worth worrying about some accelerated wear on my winter tires. I may have to replace them a few months early, but that's better than losing traction and dying in a fire ball
