If you want warm weather use only street tires, it's commonly accepted that the best performance comes from: Kuhmo RS-3, Yoko AD08, Dunlop Star Spec, and Bridgestone RE-11.

None of these tires like temperatures less than about 60 F, and can be quite slippery at temperatures under 40 F. Some of these tires also make a fair amount of noise, so there are compromises to be made.

The Michelin PS2 is sold as a Summer tire, but in my experience it works better than the others at lower temperatures, but you will be giving up some performance at higher temperatures.

If you are not competing in any timed events, and don't do track days, the PS2 is probably all you need.
