Default still driving on winter tires..BAD?

i still have my winter tires on my stock rims because i'm waiting for my new rims to come in. when those rims come in, hopefully within a month or so, i'm gonna be mounting the stock Potenza's on those and keeping the stock rims/snow tires for the winter. is this bad? i heard driving winter tires in warm weather will wear them out fast. they have about 1500 miles on them, and i don't wanna put the Potenza's back on the stock rims for a couple weeks, only to have them taken off to be put on my new rims. so, is this bad or am i still ok to drive on them?

you'll be ok for a few weeks....just don't drive aggressively because

a) those tires aren't designed for dry high performance driving, and you'll crash

b) you'll wear them out faster.

Nah, you'll be fine, just don't drive aggressively if you want to get another season out of them.
