My bet is on tires. My summers did this (contis) when it got below 45 degrees.
Once the winters were put on it immediately stopped.
One thing to note, winter tires are not only for snow - they are for cold. Summer tires can be dangerous in cold with no snow in sight - especially so when it is wet/damp.
Summers driven in cold can also damage the tires (Continental has a warning on their site). Not to try to convince you into getting winters or all seasons, just FYI.
