I don't track or AX the Targa and we do take it on trips. even in Ca, temps do go below 40 deg, so having all season works out well. Also, the car had them on it when we bought it Oct 2014 and they were virtually brand new.

the fronts have about 75% tread left, so when the new rears wear out, It should be time for a full set. I will decide then what to buy

Frankly if I was going to put summer tires on it, right now I would go with Sumi HTR ZIII
They are 50% the cost of PS2's
