don't do it ...

Just a word of warning ... don't do it.
Having summers in the winter is a really bad idea. The rubber will be hard as a rock and you won't grip a thing. Considering what kinda weather you have out there and the quality of roads ... definitely invest in separate rims if you want to buy summers.

My $0.02 ...

Don't even try. High performance summer tires have absolutely no traction on icy or snow-covered roads. The higher the rated performance, the worst it is when the weather is cold.

You're asking for trouble. And if you ran into something/ somebody, they may find you at fault....
