I wouldn't worry about adding a few hundred miles on your winter tires. If you factor in the work it will take to swap wheels/tires just for a week or 2 of driving, it's not worth it. Those 2 hours would be better off used to wash and wax your car.

Winter's not over man. Give it another month and we'll see what happens.
