Should I swap winter wheels?

So we're having a really mild winter here in the northeast with record highs but it's only February. I'm really tempted to switch back to the pilot sports. I'm currently on 19" blizzaks and it's been 70 degrees one some days. It can't be good to drive the winter tires in warmer conditions either right? Anyone else considering this?

I was tempted to do the same yesterday, not to save the Alpins, but to have more traction in these gorgeous sunny days.
I think this weather is short lived...
Another month, Mother Nature isn't predictable.

Please don't. The second you do and we'll be back to the 20's and a snowstorm will hit

I was finally able to take the M2 out of hibernation for an afternoon yesterday b/c we we're in the 60's. Come on...Spring....

Yea I wouldn't change yet. I'm tempted myself but it's not even march yet and we are bound to get much colder weather at least for a few weeks.

I'm running 18" with Michelin X-Ice tires.
