Funny you mention this because that is what I've been thinking about Summer and UHPAS category tires too. There are variations of performance envelopes within a category. To say that the performance of UHPAS category tires as a whole drops off at a specific temperature is silly.

I'm done trying to open people's minds. I know what works for me and what doesn't. 🔚

Happy holidays!
