For my knowledge though, what is the real risk here - just that, that area of the tire is now weaker and much more susceptible to damage / failure?

Also is it too early for winter tires? I keep reading that weather tires typically function best in temperatures under 45 degrees (Fahrenheit) .
I went over to weather.com and here are the average temperatures for the next two weeks:
High: 60.9 F
Low: 41.2 F
The following week for which they only have historical data (Week of Nov. 8th) is around:
High: 56 F
Low: 36 F

Yeah, the sidewall is way more likely to fail.
For what it's worth, I'm waiting for the high temps to drop below 50F, which looks like it might be the first or second week of November this year. Ideally, I'd push it off as late as possible (like the day before forecasted snow, provided it isn't freezing overnight), but I have to order the winter tires in, so there has to be a bit of a lead time to account for.
