I'm not hopeful but I'll ask since that costs me nothing.

If you wanna be cheap, you can just replace 2 tires for now, and swap to your winters in Oct or something. And then when the 2 old tires are worn down enough to warrant replacements, you replace those 2 as well.
That's what the cheap bastard me would do on my DD. If it was my wife's car, then I'd have to bite the bullet and replace all 4.

It's my own car with no family I can entertain slightly riskier options. I'm aware that damaged sidewalls are not great which is why I wanted to see if there are other options to consider.
After thinking through this some more, I'm leaning towards doing a seasonal tire swap now and drive my other car until temperatures are more suitable for winter tires.
