^ How warm though? My general rule is to not drive on summer tires below 10*C. Easy enough during the day in the early spring, but not so much in the evening or early morning.

Interesting, but I'd have to disagree. Just looking at the accident statistics, more people are finding the limits of their tires in the winter than in the summer. Driving down the road at the speed limit in the summer the only time most people would be finding a limit is during emergency braking. Do the same in the winter and you can easy be hitting limits when you're starting, turning, stopping normally, etc.
