It wont matter what tires you go out on. You can go out on all-seasons if you wanted. "The Limit" is an always-changing variable depending on every component of your car, be it brakes, tires, suspension, motor, or otherwise. So when you go out with a lower "limit" due to the tires you are on, it doesn't matter - you are still learning at the same level, relatively.
In fact, if you go out with crappier tires, you'll learn to drive fast, faster, because you'll be pushing the limit more often.
Cliffs: you will be just fine, and if you enter a dangerous situation, it's because you put yourself there, or your instructor let you go there (which is a big no-no in their world).
Go out and drive to your tires, not a set amount of what you THINK your car can do.
