you can put them on whenever you like, the more you drive with them on dry pavement, the faster they'll wear.
snow tires are very soft, don't even have a wear rating, but of course they are a million times better than all seasons and summers since they don't harden once temp drops below 42F. 42F is the typical temp a summer tire loses 50% of it's traction due to the compound becoming hard...

I have my OEM rims as a dedicated winter set.
IMO looks 10x better than junk steelies. *also if you try and sell the OEM's you won't get as much, so skip the step and just use those - was my thinking.
And of course i have an after market set for the summer with better rubber.
