I would hold off on putting the pads on til you get stickier rubber. The higher friction coefficient of the HP+ pads is probably going ot cause your all seasons to lock up if you are not careful.

I would personally learn on stock brakes. There's a little bit more learning curve on the HP+ pads. Getting to know what lock up feels and learning to release/add pressure to be on the verge lock-up is a learned feeling.
You are basically making your braking foot your ABS. Once you get the hang of it then throw on the HP+ pads. Best way to learn is attend a driving school or autocross school if your region offers it.
The worse thing that can happen is you flat spot your tires and on your daily driving tires that would be annoying and could be dangerous. Other thing that can happen is you lock up your brakes and panic and not release enough to gain traction and run into something.

Personally I would still learn on the stock brakes. Sometimes you can do too many mods to the car at once especially new tires AND brakes.
