I'm coming to the conclusion that there's really no good answer to my question. After doing a little more research, I'm reading that it's just as dangerous to drive on winter tires in hot climates (it'll most likely be in the high 70s/low 80s in Baton Rouge) than it is to drive on summer tires in cold. Besides the wear issue, the tires get soft, can actually shed rubber and "ball up," and handling and braking are greatly reduced. I drove my 325i on winter tires too long one year and I can attest that they were hideous on extremely hot misty days.. I was sliding all over the highway and couldn't figure out why.
Sooo.. I either take my chances in Syracuse, or I take my chances from Ohio southward. I guess I'll just keep an eye on the weather and make the call the day before we head out. It'll be a four day trip down and back.
Thanks for the thoughts.. keep'em coming..
