I've got like 5/32 of tread left on my summer tires and I'm going to be switching to winters soon.

Should I store the old summer tires that I’ve had since the car was new and put them back on only to replace them not very far into next year or should I just junk them now? I don’t technically need the winter tires yet but they’ve got a lot of tread left and it could start snowing any time within the next month or so and I don’t want to be caught unprepared.

Current tire: Dunlop Sport Maxx RT (measured at 5/32 like 3000 miles ago)

Winter tire: Michelin Pilot Alpin PA4

Summer tire I’ll eventually get: Probably the Michelin Pilot 4S
