just dont go draggin knees around corners. tires dont like to grip roads when they aren't warm. i think you'll be fine for daily commute, just avoid any type of spirited riding

Props to you for riding in Alaska I bet you have some siiiiiiiiiiick roads once the weather FINALLY warms up.

Like reborn said, your good to go. Just dont be too aggressive. Becareful making sharp turns from a stop, if you give too much throttle before the tire is ready you could go down. Other than that, your good. Projectf4 and I put on about 500miles in sub 30-45* weather.
