712s+snow=
I would bump the medical coverage on my insurance if I were to attempt this. All weather tires are bad enough in the snow and you're trying to use summer tires...

Yea they do suck, but they aint dangerous like holding a gun to your head. If you know how to drive at a normal speed then you will be alright.
