I've also found that Motul transmission fluid works like shit on my climate in all but the hottest days. Mean while guys in Cali claim it to be the second coming. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

This,
Average yearly temperatures for the time of day you drive/commute the most should determine if you should choose A/S vs Summer.
I wouldn't be surprised if MPS A/S 4 out performed MPS4s in sub 55 degree weather with normal/average commute tire temperatures.
Sure if its 70+ out or you have driven long and hard enough to get some heat in the tires the MPS4s will be better. but if you are just casually commuting and have a few "spots" on your drive to/from work (or whatever commute) you like to drive spiritedly you probably wont have the temp in the tire to take advantage of the summer tire vs the A/S unless its in the 60s or you have a long commute.
