when to start using summer tires?
My car came with winter tires and I have a set of wheels with summer tires ready to go, but what temperatures should you be looking for in order to use them?
It's starting to get nicer how around here 50s-60s but in the mornings its still kinda chilly, like 30s.

It really depends on whether you have alternative transportation in case of late snow or, if not, if you don't mind switching back to snow tires. Depending on the summer tire, most are fine in the upper 30s, as long as you realize the traction won't be nearly as good as in warmer weather, but it may still be better than your snow tires or even many all-season tires at the same temperature. Flat spots in the morning are not really a problem on most tires, they fix themselves in a couple of minutes. Note, however, that there a few very high performance tires that can be damaged in very cold temperatures, but most will be fine.
