Snow tires are fine to use in non-snow conditions. Most people here leave them on the whole season.

You may get slightly lower fuel mileage, but you'll get better grip on the road thanks to their softer rubber (all-season rubber gets stiff at low temps). Using them in the summer isn't recommended because their softer rubber will wear down faster than an all-season tire, though.

For reasons I won’t bore y’all with, I ended up with snow tires on one of our cars for all of 2022. I wouldn’t recommend doing so, but they actually worked pretty well, even in the summer.

Came here to say, used my old snows for summers because I couldn't drip the cash for new summers yet. They were at the end of their life as snows but worked fine in the summer
