Only my opinion - some do drive theirs year round and have no issues. Not me. I park it when the snow comes and for most of the cold months actually. Good luck man!
100% agree..get a cheap $500 JEEP cherokee or something for the winter..leave you baby in the garage in the winter..that's what I do since MN's winters are harsh and can cause damage to your car.

Congrats on the purchase of a fine car. Good luck with finding the source of the vibrations. I hope its only due to the fact that you're not used to the firm suspension and very low profile tires and does not manifest into a real problem.
