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

For the sake of an extra week or so on the winter as opposed to sudden and possibly catastrophic side wall failure just change now.
