If the rubber is warm enough, then you're good to go. I've used the blow torch method when I needed it in a pinch. If I am not in a rush, I usually put 4 space heaters next to the tires overnight and I've had no trouble with rain, snow, or ice for the past 2 winters using that method.
You cant be serious.. ?

Even if you used a BLOW TORCH on your tires (I'm still in disbelief) and even if you heated your tires up with spacer heaters over night.. how long do you think they hold any type of heat once you drive away in 0 degree winter conditions ? 30 seconds before your summer tires turn to hockey pucks in the cold.. ?
Agree- if roads are snow covered, then they're at or below freezing. Your tires will not hold or generate enough to overcome.

You'd need to drive around with space heaters in your wheel wells for this approach to work....
