No need, below 7C winter tyres definitely work better, above 7C summer tyres "usually" work better. Needs to be a lot hotter for serious wear.
Been using them for a few years now, they work very well.
Typically put them on in November (at first forecast of cold weather) and off again around March/April.

I have a complete spare set of wheels (cheap tatty alloys as it happens) including spare, so it's a quick and easy swap. On both cars.
