The Firehawk Indy 500s I bought seem to work very well. I driven her in below freezing and surprised how well it drove. They hook well at the track.
Have you launched hard on cold days? This tire is on my short list, actually I have pretty much narrowed down to it when I need to replace tires.
But a large potion of the year here is in that 35-50*f range and raining, so hearing how summer tires are so bad in cold is giving me pause. My car is a year round DD, thankfully we do not really get snow here more than 1-2days a year.

My Mustang had summer tires on it when I got it. I could downshift to 3rd at 70 MPH and spin them on cold dry pavement. 1st gear was useless - nothing but spinning. 2nd was hardly any better. I sold the damn things and put on some all-season BFG Comp 2 A/S. 100% improvement.
How is the noise with them? The Summer version is/was my #2 choice after the Firehawks, but I am concerned about the reports that they are noisey. Sounds like they hold well for you, how is cornering? I do not track or road course, but enjoy laying into a corner when possible. One cloverleaf I run routinely is long and smooth so I can really modulate speed and turn rate thru it. The tires I have now I can very much feel the sidewalls roll over when I push it.
It would be interesting to see SBS try the Comp-2 A/S and how they compare. Knowing him and Brad's tunes though, might not be any tires that will hold with the power being throw at them.
