Default Vinyl temperature

The elasticity of vinyl (and many other materials) varies with temperature.
It seems to me that at lower temps would allow the phonograph stylus to more faithfully follow groove displacement.
Would there be any advantage to a turntable which chilled the record during playback?
And what would be the optimum temp? Too low and the vinyl would enter the glass transition and become brittle.
i thought of this reading a discussion about using summer car tires in cold weather.
