Summer tire compounds get hard really quick as the temps drop. If you get rain and thirty some degrees, they'll probably feel really slick. While they vary from manufacturer to manufacturer, I've read that the average compound compliance in a summer tire is ok into the fifties, fair in the forties and not recommended too much below that. While it would be nice to have the better traction of the summer tire, you may be disappointed with the results in colder weather.
