What is the temperature range for winter tires?

I’m looking into getting some winter tires and I’d love to know more about their limits and functions before I purchase them. What is the temperature range on winter car tires?

Winter tires are a fantastic idea if you’re driving in snowy or icy conditions. Generally, they are built to withstand temperatures between -45°F and 195°F. However, winter tires will wear out much faster when driven in hot weather.
Winter tires, as opposed to all-season tires, are not designed for durability but for traction in dangerous weather. Because of their specific purpose, winter tires also often cost more than all-season tires, ranging in the $200 to $400 per tire range whereas all-season tires typically cost $100 to $150 per tire.
