Well, they're not going to grip all that well in warm weather. Can you use them? Yes; they won't melt or anything. And most of them have a fairly low speed rating, so I wouldn't go 100+ mph on them, either.

If they were mine, I would sell the tires (in the marketplace forums or on ebay).

Only if you care about performance (grip and handling).

In hot weather they start to really feel slippery. Oh, and in the summer they will last about a month and they will be done. They have absolutely no treadlife in the hot summer weather.
