Default opinions? Looking to get either Dunlop SP Sport 8090 or Potenza RE960AS Pole Positions ->

Both of these tires sound great, but the RE960AS's are A/S tires, and the car it's going on is more of a nice weather car. I am looking for a tire which is going to give more grip under nicer conditions, but still is somewhat comfortable and quiet to drive on. So which is the better choice? They are both 'ultra high performance (UHP)' tires, but one is an A/S, the other is a summer tire. Would the summer tire be a better fit by default just because it's a summer tire, i.e. more performance oriented than the RE960AS? TIA

Potenza RE050A Pole Position. Stay away from the A/S as they really are a compromise tire.
