driving on summer tires in winter conditions, even w/o snow on the ground is not the wisest choice you can make. the biggest issue is the fact that summer compounds are not designed to operate properly when the temps drop below 50 or so degrees, so you will have increased stopping distances, loss of traction at times you don't expect (even when the ground is dry) and just overall poor performance

if you enjoy your car there is no cheaper insurance in the winter time than buying a decent set of all season tires and saving the sticky summer tires for when it gets warm out again (unless of course you own a beater car)

okay i've said my piece

Late,
Daniel

P.S. I'm running the Falken Ziex ZE 512s on my 33 during the winter time
