what happens if you drive with winter tires in the summer? I'm not too familiar with the rubber compounds and stuff, so what would happen?

You won't wear down the tread too badly. But the rubber compound is designed to drive in cold temps. Sometimes if you drive them in too much warm weather it can diminish the snow traction ability when winter comes back, even though you still have plenty of tread depth.

Absolutely nothing at all will happen. They might wear slightly faster than they would otherwise, but even that's a bit speculative.

They would be really soft and you'd probably get tread squirming if the tires are new enough. you'd also have less than optimal grip, but i'm not sure if it would be better or worse grip than some no name cheap all seasons that are supposed to last 90,000 miles.

I dunno. I think it might cause Xmas to come early. The school season might start early too.

Bridgestone says the Blizzaks will wear faster on summer asphalt. Winter tires are designed with "snow cleaning" in mind vs. "water removal" . So they are not optimal but certainly not terrible.

They will wear out faster than they otherwise would, and they will be kinda soft so your handling won't be the best.

They are made with a softer compound which gets even softer with summer temps. They will wear faster than all seasons. It really depends on how much you drive and how much tread is left. I know plenty of people that drive with them all the time because they dont want to fool with having another set of wheels.
