FWIW I generally ride my road bike until the first significant snowfall. Typically that means late November/early December and by that time there's been plenty of mornings with temps below freezing and the wet leaves have mostly come and gone. I even encounter the occasional small patch of thin ice.

I find that my road tires work fine for that although you do have to be careful on the leaves and the ice. The tires you've listed might be great options for those conditions but I personally don't feel I need a specialized tire. The situation where I ride might be different though. They usually clean the streets here after most of the leaves have fallen. There's not a lot of sand to deal with until spring.
