07 STOCK TIRES ideal for WINTER
What do you have. Is it a coupe, sedan, X 
If it has summer performance tires. Do not drive it in the winter.They lose much of their traction under 10C. Don't risk smashing your car up.

On topic:
If it's all-season X, then you can get by. (still dangerous)
If it's all-season RWD, it's risky but doable. (still dangerous, and you'll get stuck)
If it's got summer tires, no friggin way.
That's what I thought exactly two years ago when I bought my RWD sedan. I spent three months slipping and sliding, never touching a dry surface. That fall, I got some snows. Do NOT run summers or even A/S in the snow, it's bad for your bodywork.

Indeed, they don't even grip on dry pavement in the winter months...
Don't do it.....As Giddyup suggests: not even plausible....

If you live in Miami, yes.
If you plan on parking it until April, yes.
In Canada, no.
Couldn't resist. No offense meant.

A story about Summer tires:
On March 31st of last year I bought my G in Toronto with Summer's. The weather in T.O was about 10C. About 75km outside of Sudbury on my way home, I hit an ice and snow storm. I was relegated to a speed of about 30km and sometimes less. It was a long and nerve wracking drive. The tires were useless. I was scared that I was going to write my car off on it's first day. When I hit Sudbury I slid through three or four stop signs at very low speed. Moral of the story Summer tires are for Summer. Plain and simple.
