If he wants summer tires the GY TT aren't fitting that bill, the Pilot Sport AS are closer, but still not it.
True summer tires? You're looking at BFG G-force KDW'*, Goodyear GS D3'* (AWESOME) not to mention a few Falkens, Kuhmo Ecstas, etc...

Thank you for all of the replies.
I do read the customer reviews and try to filter out the information by reading a lot of the reviews. Example, if there are 10 reviews and 7 say the sidewalls are not firm and the tire is sloppy in turns then I will skip over the tire.
Currently I am looking at these tires trying to find a deal on the local Craigslist. I will need to get tires in 10K or less miles so it does not hurt to look for deals now.
Current first choice:
http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires....+Pole+Position
Second choice:
http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires....Eagle+F1+GS-D3
Third choice:
http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires....del=PZero+Nero
If money was no problem and I upgraded to 18' rims i would try a set of these.

Oh well I would have recommended the Potenzas hands down, but they don't come in the size you mentioned, so I ruled them out. So you basically don't care how far off your speedometer is?
And sorry about the last post, I forgot he said summer.
Heck, even the A/* Pole Positions are really good, but for a summer one, those summer potenzas are hard to beat.

I do care about the speedometer reading and I use a calculator to compare speeds. When you get into the higher performance tires it is hard to find an aspect ratio over 45. I would prefer 55 because of the ride quality and a less chance of a pothole doing damage to the rim but I have to go with what is made by the tire company.
There are quite a few members running the Bridgestone’* and the tire comes highly rated.
The reviews on the Pirelli looked good with decent light snow performance.
I have always used Goodyear’* up till two years ago when I put a set of Yokohama'* on my *-10 and was surprised at the performance. I currently run Yokohama’* on the family van as well. I still think the Goodyear’* are an excellent choice.
What is nice about the BC is the ability to find out how a particular tire performs on our cars.
