The rubber of winter tyres is much more flexible than that of all-season and summer tyres - meaning that although this adds traction in winter, it will wear down quickly in warm temperatures. Summer and all-season tyres are built to withstand warm temperatures, providing long wear life. If you keep the winter tyres on in summer, you'll end up having to replace them more quickly in the long run.

In warm weather, winter tyres also don't provide the same handling capabilities as summer or all-season tyres. If you end up making any sharp turns or doing any quick manoeuvres - you could find quite significantly decreased performance compared to how the tyres act in colder months. As long as you're careful, you'll be fine - but keeping winter tyres on year round isn't ideal.
