Still with the deep sipes, combined with the winter compound, the other 3-seasons, its performance will be dramatically compromised. The tread design features that makes it great for snow means it's not going to be very hydroplaning resistant, then add in all that tread-squirm, compromising handling, and it's going to wear very quickly in the other 3-seasons.
Never had an issue with hydroplaning with any winter tires from Blizzak WS60 , WS70 , General Altimax Arctic ( original with or w/o studs ) or the Cooper Evolution Winter with studs . They are a bit soft , especially in warmer weather . Just slow down a bit . Do see vehicles in parking lots with winter tires on during the summer . I would never do that .
