Summer Tires.

Is it okay to drive summer tires in winter when there is no ice or snow, or
is there something about the composition of summer tires that makes them
less effective in cold weather? Mine are Vredestein 235-35-19 and
270-30-19, at 37 and 43 lbs.

When temperatures are below around 40-45 F, you will lose 25% or
more of the traction.
