Thanks for the input all!
Sounds like I definitely should get them replaced/swapped. I'm thinking of these two options. To give more context, I'm not really in the downtown area closer to suburbia so it's more flat and more like a grid. When fall and winter comes around, it'll rain for sure, with a decent amount. Snow wise, we'll get some snow for like a week or two. That's about it. With that in mind, my two options are:
1. Go with a more AS friendly tire (give up performance) and find a place to store these Potenzas. Swap them out based on seasons.
2. Go with the AS4s (good AS tire while still performant), use them until the end of Spring. Swap them out with the Potenzas. Try and use them up until the thread is gone on the Potenzas. Then use the AS4s exclusively.
What do you guys think?

I'd never drive them in snow.
When my 500 got delivered March of last year, we were still in full winter mode up here, and just driving it out of the parking lot it got delivered to, it was all over the place. Lucky me, the roads were dry so I got home safely (only like a mile drive). But I would never trust them near or below freezing temps, and even less if snowy.
Get the AS4's for all year long and you'll be set.
