North east will have more than 6months of avg temp below 40F, where it hits the lower limit of summer performance tire. Hence it would be much safer to get All Season tires. Currently Verde is only option for 21s but sizing down will get you more options. I currently have 741M 295/35/21 and 265/40/21 without compromising the radius of the tire. It feels great and did not had any issue of traction going at 140mph. Check out my post about it.
