They don't have more than 15k on them, so they're no less than 75% tread. Since then, I've done some looking and that size isn't as expensive as I thought... throw 800 bones to Costco and I'm all good.

Sounds like you need some high performance summer tires. Since you've got winter tires anyway, and tread-wear isn't an issue, may as well get something soft and sticky.

Probably not current but about 10 years ago a Bridgestone technical advisor warn me that even moving cars equipped with their summer tires below freezing could be destructive (might have been 40°f?). That was in the context of importing thousands of vehicles though, so they were necessarily very conservative. My Honda owners manual for 2020 has basically the same warning for 40°f so it must still be true enough to justify the warning.

Is there a modern 'sporty' winter tire? I live in Philly so we don't get much real winter, mainly wet and in the 20s/30s so regular winter tires seem a bit too focused on snow/ice grip and severe cold at the expense of wet and cool grip.
