Yep, gotta recommend 2 sets of tire for the NE. 1 set for all season/daily driving/long trips. The other set of Summer only Max grip tires for canyon carving and track days. Find a spare set of takeoff wheels and mount some tires on them.

Michelin, Bridgestone, Yokohama, and Continental all have very good A/S tires that wear well and work in low temps. A/S tires do not fare well in very high heat of continuous lapping.

For the Summer fun tires I like RS-3, RE-11, AD-08, Star Spec. They have monstrous dry grip and withstand the high heat associated with continuous lapping very well.

It's all about the contact patch.
