I commuted the last two winters in WI and my bike is parked outside all day. Many days -0 F. (-20 or so C). The bike spends overnight in an unheaed garge and seldom gets above freezing in January. I have never had a tire issue. I ride both Nashbar 26 and 27 inch studded tires (2 bikes). I do run a heavy tube, because they hold air better and are less likely to flat. Bike tires should be as reliable as car tires at cold temps.
