Tire options

I'm looking for a tire that grips good in 50 to 60 degree weather. My nitto NT05 will spin for days if its not warm out. I'm on 24psi hp tuners tuneo I'm looking for your opinions and options that can meet these standards. I already have a dedicated tire for summer weather for traction. It doesn't snow here just looking for tire that performs well when it gets colder.

A "summer" compound tire will work down to about 40 degrees (F), where an "all season" compound will stay flexible down closer to freezing. If your existing summer tires are working well in the temperature range you mentioned, you may want to look at a less agressive summer compound or even an all season option. Assuming stock 225/40R18, consider the Bridgestone Potenza RE760 Sport or Yokohama S.drive in a summer compound or maybe a Michelin Pilot Sport AS+ in an all season.
