My wheels have been fine. I've been running my car through a brushless car wash every two weeks. My MS3 is still very new (just passed 1500 miles a day ago) but AFAIK (which isn't that much come to cars), brakes squeak and squeal when they need to be changed. Something about an audible warning that the pads are low enough that they should be changed. Is this not the case with the MS3 brakes too?

Mine were squeaking as well today...about 25 degrees in CT. I'm sure it's not a big deal though. Car still brakes like a mo fo though.

definitely squeaky. in fact, many things rattle and creak in the cold including suspension and several parts on the dash and windshield...^^;

This is true, but there is no way that they are ready to be changed. Although I am considering replacing these dusty pads with something that will leave my wheels a bit cleaner.

my squeaking is definitely not because i need to change my brakes, because i changed out my summer tires for winters just last week and had a look at the pads...there's a LOT of wear left.

I second that, I just had my dealership check mine out and everything is fine, even though they're QUITE noisy. I was sure I'd have to have them replaced, but such is not the case, there's still plenty of depth on 'em.

Not only are mine squeeky but my TPMS is coming on in the mornings.

check your tire pressures. they will drop due to temperature because air decreases in volume as temperature drops (which is why you're supposed to check your tire pressures with the changing of the seasons). the default TPMS trigger point is 27psi, i believe, so you're way lower than you should be.
