Makes sense to me.I usually have my winter wheels/tires mounted in late Nov or early Dec. Come mid to late March the summer wheels/tires are swapped back on.

My wife and I are in a completely different climate down here in Maryland. This winter has been an exception. It hasn't reached record lows (about -5*F) but it's been close to 0* with wind chills close to -20* and it's been below freezing for weeks now. Cold for here.
Typically, the temp fluctuates above and below freezing. Well within the range of all-season tires like the OE tires on the Bronco Sport. At our milder temps, they perform better than winter tires -- as long as the roads are clear, which they almost always are.
When I was driving the WRX every day, I was a bit of a fanatic about having the best tires on it for conditions. If snow/ice was forecast, I'd pop the winter tires on but otherwise they stayed in the garage. That's what I did, I'm not suggesting anyone should necessarily follow my example. I had the time and tools to make swapping tires easy.
