No, they are NOT!
Summer tires have a different rubber composition than all seasons or winter. Below 45 degrees they get hard. Hard tires have severely reduced traction. They dont grip the road so much as just ride on top of it.
Also summer tires can crack and split in severe cold weather just sitting in your garage not even mounted to the car!! I have mine in my basement.
