I'm driving my challenger on summer tires to prove a point to friends. Some intersections can be a pain to get going if on ice, but I definitely won't roll a light. As you said...you should be expecting someone to run it anyways, the one time I didn't, I got t-boned (in a different car). Traffic cameras are not that beneficial to revenue and really not beneficial to the population. 

Interesting write up on red light camera backpeddling.
