You can run winters all year round, but yes they will wear faster than all seasons.

you can use them but they will wear very fast there is really no point to run winters when there is no snow/ice on the roads

When it gets to +16 my winters don't have any traction on the warm pavement - my car actually slides more.
Not recommended!

they use a different compound and the heat range is different. good for cold but not nessisarily for warm. same as summers generally turn to plasic in the cold...
