Bridgestone Blizzaks LM25v(Winter Tires) safe for summer driving?

hey guys, new to the board.

Just bought 19 OEM Rims for my 2004 g35 coupe. The rims came with bridgestone blizzaks LM25v 225/40/19 and 245/40/19 tires.
I'm an easy driver and rarely push my car past 5000 rpm., mostly city driving and a little highway about 5 percent of my driving. Will these tires be ok to use in the summer? I'm worried i might fishtail and blow a tire on the highway.
I figured i'd be ok to use for the 4 months as im storing my car in the garage in the winter and i will be purchasing summer tires in april 2010.
safe or no?

thanks

They will be extremely soft and slippery. I would look for someone to trade locally who needs winter tires

Agreed. Very poor handling and they will wear super quickly in the warmer weather.

What they said. You'd ruin them in short order. Better to sell them if they are in good shape. Should fetch a decent price too as 19" tires are expensive.

thank you for your input, tried them on today, handling feels like jello, but still has some grip when trying to floor it or going through a corner. i think it will be ok until i store the car in november or until someone buys it. do snow tires cost more then summer tires?
