Default str tires vs cups - cold

When is cold weather, is it sens to use cups, even if it is dry or just street tires, for instance PS2 ? I going for autocross next weekend. Could be dry but temp 35-50' F. What your views.

Very good question. I'd like to know the answer as well. I drove on the PS2s for our March autox (temps in the 40s), but may try the Cups for the April autox (temps may be in the 60s). I know the Cups aren't helpful when it's cold, but are better than streets when it's warm. I just don't know the break even temperature point.
