if you live where it snows you really need to be off summer rubber by Thanksgiving. And all season tires are pretty useless once the snow starts to inch up. Driving 20 mph while cars on snow tires and AWD are zooming past at 60 mph really puts you in a danger since you can't predict what they'll do to get around you. And summer rubber in below freezing temps really doesn't get along with ice patches on the road which I consider to be a bigger danger than the snow.
