I wouldn't if I were you, what if one day you go to work and you had the summers on. next thing you know it snows..you are practically stuck. but then again thats what I would do. haha just fight it bro! I'm resisting the urge of putting mine on because I don't want to get stuck outside.

I would say go ahead and put them on. If you go to work and it snows, just drive back extra cautious. Im pretty sure it wont be 30 cm of snow by the time your done your shift. *knocks on wood*

The reliance on winter tires in this city is hilarious... the first day it snows everyone scrambles to get their winter radials on. Then it all melts and people drive with winter radials on dry cement for 2 more months.

With the exception of the few days each year where the roads are snow covered and icy, all season radials are more than suitable.

All seasons should be ok for now but summers should be changed.

Unless you are having someone else swap it for you, you may want to change it while weather is kinda warm.

Just think of it this way. The cost of insurance increases is almost the same as a set of new winter tires when you tap someone from behind failing to stop. So what's the big deal of a bit more of warm weather wear for putting them on early.
