Don't run summer tires in the winter, they aren't meant for that. Also, in the area that you are, you will benefit hugely from proper winters.
If you're getting new wheels and tires anyway, buy some cheap, summers with your wheels like V12's, and buy some winter tires for your stock wheels this fall. General Altimax Arctics are amazing tires, and very cost effective.

So I know its not the safest route to use all-seasons year round, but right now my reasons are:
- I dont have a driveway/garage where I can easily swap my tires
- Temps in NYC are annoying. Just this week we've approached the 40s and summer tires lose traction at <40-45F
- I would never choose to drive in a blizzard, snow storm, or unplowed roads anyway.
- I don't drive much in general. (5500 miles in 1.5yrs)
Hence I want to stick with all-seasons. If I were to seriously track my car, then I'd reconsider having summers for sure. But for the random fun drive, I dont think having all-seasons in the summer would bother me.
