Summer Tires for nav. rallying

How well do summer tires work for navigational rallies (i.e. gravel, rough roads)?

I am researching tires to put on my car this spring. Currently, I'm on winter tires. I've narrowed my choices down to a number of summer tires, leading the pack are the Firehawk SZ50ep because of their superior wet handling charactistics. But, I want to get involved in rallying this summer and I'm not sure how well summer-only tire work on gravel. Should I consider all-seasons? Any suggestions?

Well, that's what I've learned.
