My wheel was hot to the touch when changing to winter setup!

Sounds like a brake is dragging. Might try exercising your caliper to see if it is binding or stuck or just plain ol' cruddy.
With the old pads still on, pull the caliper and compress the piston in, REINSTALL caliper then pump the brakes. Repeat. This will get the piston to cycle in and out perhaps freeing it up.
Also clean and grease the spots where the pad rides against the caliper bracket. If it is all cruddy and dirty there the pad might not be able to relax away from the rotor.
