Think about the rubber compound, not just the tread pattern.
A winter tire generally has a softer rubber compound that retains traction in the cold, but wears rapidly above a 7c ambient.

Not much snow, but seeing video's & text saying winter tyres preform equally as well in the wet as summer tyres, obviously a great deal better in the snow/ice/slush, the only down side is, a bit more road noise & a slightly worse performance in the dry.

I use all weather tires for over 5 years now and they perform very well all year round.No need to have 2 sets of tires and change them every season.

All weather, or all season, are not the same thing as a winter tire.

Yes, you're right. Sorry, not going down the all weather/all season route. Will go for winter tyres. Vredestein wintrac xtreme is my favoured choice.

You are going to absolutely destroy those tires come summer. Winter tires become butter in the warm months.

If it isn't too warm out, the OP will just experience very rapid wear, as you say. The danger is if it gets too warm out, and the rubber distintegrates (marbles) while driving. Much longer stopping distances result.
