I suggest spec'ing the summer tires for the higher speed limit that is coded at the factory. Then, promptly replace with all-seasons for safety in the sub 45 temps and save the summer tires for a 2nd set of wheels purchased at a later time. You'll definitely want the stickier rubber once the weather starts to warm up again. Or just sell the PSS to recoup funds and worry about a summer/track-only wheel set down the road. If you simply can't be bothered with seasonal wheel changes, just go with all-seasons year-round. Safety should be first. I learned my lesson with my old WRX w/ summer tires during a North Carolina winter "storm." Barely any snow on the ground and not that cold, but I skated right through a 4-way stop. I was lucky.
