I don't know, but I had read somewhere at some point that they should be stored at above 40*F but perhaps somebody just misinterpreted it and that's just the threshold you should try to avoid when driving.

I did a quick search though and all I came up with was this:

Unlike less highly tuned tires, Yokohama's care instructions specify that due to its compound characteristics, ADVAN Neova AD07 must be used and stored at temperatures above -10° Celsius (14° Fahrenheit) to maintain its performance and avoid tire damage.

That's for a different tire, but it does illustrate that at some point, low temperature can negatively effect the compound, presumably permanently.
