if you have an AWD car then UHPAS tires may work but STILL woudn't be optimal. In fact i can't see them being optimal in any temperature. Some people don't have the means to store extra wheels and tires; and on an AWD that might be a comprimised solution. On a RWD car? it's totally suboptimal every time.

People keep telling this dude TEMPERATURE and he keeps missing the point.....lol
Plus he already as a set of summers! It's not even about not wanting another set of tires, since he wants to use UHPAS in the winter.
