I'm driving around with my dunlop RFT summers in 19 degree weather without any problems.
I did this too until it snowed and getting from my garage to the salted road was a white knuckle ride (retired racer, I steered with the right foot, but still no fun heading to work). It snowed shortly after getting the DSW06's mounted up and it was a world of difference getting to the main road.

The polymers for summer tires perform best in warmer temperatures. Same for winter tires; they perform best in colder temps.

Road noise on my commute w/the DSW06's is minimal. Ride comfort is much, much nicer (and I have the adaptable suspension set to comfort). It's a big difference being non-RFTs. I added a can of fix a flat and a tire plug kit to the back pocket in the hatch for peace of mind.
