Summer tires in cold dry weather?

I've driven on OEM tires in temps below 40. No issues, but it was strictly 100% local streets so there aren't any problems except avoiding potholes.

I put a set of Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 3 tires on a couple of weeks ago. We had temps in the upper 50s then and I have driven it recently when it was in the lower 30s. Great grip all around and I have been very happy with them. We'll see how they do when it is really warm out, but the reviews I have read say it can keep up with summer tires. You should look into them if it is your DD. Don't chance it on summer tires.
