I am in NC and you won't be able to run summer tires continuously from Dec to March as temperatures drop around freezing on some days. Temperatures swing unpredictably fast from day-to-day in the winter. You will still be able to use summer tires most of times in the winter but there will be days when you won't (or you will be asking for trouble). Stock tires will give marginal grip when approaching freezing temp, it does not matter how you drive. I have a second car which i use for those days, and still drive the M3 in the winter for the rest of the time. if this is your only car you'll need a set of winter tires. It will feel like a waste of money because there won't be that many such days, but temperature changes constantly in NC, it will be random days not grouped and it will get you if you're not prepared for it.
