I wouldn't drive winter tires in the summer unless it was an emergency.

Here is a good article on Edmunds on snow vs summer tire performance:

In sum - snows should not be used on dry pavement; you'll experience a considerable drop in handling and performance.

Jeez, nice find. I guess I'll be selling the snows sooner than I thought. I was wondering about the noise ("the noise they make when cruising straight and level reminds us of a lifted off-road pickup"), but didn't think the handling would drop by that much. 35 feet on a 60-0 is a big difference.

Thanks to all for the advice. I'm learning my way around "this here fancy car."

You should be able to find someone that wants your snows... hopefully you can get someone to pick them up.

Shipping wheels/tires can be a real challenge and money sink.
