NO!!!!!! This is one of THE stupidest mistakes someone could make. My dad owns and manages a tire shop and I've heard and seen lots of people that have gotten into trouble without winters, also in Canada on many higher roads and highways it's ILLEGAL to drive without winters between Oct. 1 and April. 1. At 7 degrees C (about 44 degrees F) summers or yes all seasons, which are just as bad, start to harden and lose traction, therefor when temperature is constantly below 7 degrees you need to switch to winters. Many people die or are injured because they don't have winters.
In most places you can, but it's not a good idea - much less grip in rain, and they wear out faster in the dry. In places where they know, like Canada and the northern states, most sensible drivers will put them aside for next winter and buy another pair of rims from a wrecker to use with summer tires.
If they are studded snow tires, it is illegal to have them on your vehicle certain months of the year depending where you live.
As long as your snow tires are not studded, it is OK to run them in summer; however, snow tires will wear out quicker on dry summer roads than on wet or slick winter roads.
