Wow - sorry...
I have to agree. My winters went on last week. It isnt really the snow that I worry about but the temps. Once it dips in to the 40s summer tires are pretty much useless. No reason to risk it.

I had only gone around the block so my tires were ice cold when a large fox (common in my area) jumped in front of my car. I was doing about 40 mph, maybe 45, swerved and had I had virtually no control over my ado8s, 265/35 front 295/30 rear. I went off the road a few feet not just into soft dirt but then small trees. I may have traded one animals life for another  Car is at MAC auto right now, we will see.. there does appear to be some frame damage.
