The tires that came with the car are Michelin Pilot Sport 4S with the star and while I've heard they're awesome tires, I'm in New England and the temps have been in the 30's and below all week, with some snow in between.
I'm not taking this thing on the track (I'm a pretty conservative driver) and also not interested in swapping back and forth between summer/winter wheels (nor spending an additional 4 grand on a dedicated winter setup at the moment) so got some Pilot Sport All Season 4's from Tire Rack.
Does anyone have any experience with these tires? They seem great from reviews.
Also, I'm new to the whole summer tire game, it's supposed to get up to the low to mid 40's for the next few days, some rainy days in there, I'm assuming driving locally, as long as I'm not driving like a maniac will be ok with these summer tires on?
Thanks!

I wouldnt drive summer tires below 8 degrees/44 farenheit. Running a car group over 12 years Ive seen a few guys lose their car using summers below the temperatures I mention.
Just last week my friends 911 rear stepped out driving only at 30mph on summers and now has to change his rear diffuser at $2k.
Pilot Sport All Season 4 are fantastic tires and has actually great reviews considering its an all season that has fantastic snow qualities.

If you want confidence and plan to keep your car a while I always say opt for winter setup....and it doesnt have to be from dealership. Tire shops have deals on winter setups (wheels and tire) and going 1 size down (18 inch with 225 wide tires) for under $1300.
Take anything I mentioned with a grain of salt and do your own due diligence and research.
