When are ambient temperatures likely to get down to winter tyre fitting time? I don't know. In your shoes, me myself, would aim to delay tyre fitting until then. And then, you are not under pressure to have the winter tyres on the 244. You have winter tyres on anther car.

Give the paint all the time that can be found. Have respect for yourself, for the work that you have done.
