Default LM-22's

I was wondering if I could use my LM-22's as all seasons. Or 'till they wear out. I don't plan on using the S next winter. And we had a mild winter this year here in NY. How much milage can I expect to get out of these? Will they melt in the warm weather? Would it be unsafe? They're great in the rain.
Thanks.

If you drive your car like a civic, then you'll have no problems.

They'll probably wear considerably on the hot days. I wouldn't say its dangerous, but if you want to drive your car they way its supposed to be driven, then I would call it boderline foolishness.

I would say yes absolutely, but if you put many miles on them over the summer you won't have enough tread life left in them to make them very effective next winter. I'd say tread life for the rears to be about 10k miles.

Not concerned about the wear. As I stated this will be the last winter I'll drive the S
These are H rated tires rated to 130mph, I rarely do that with summer tires. Hopefully JIM can respond. Once there worn I'm back to SO2's
