Unfortunately tires are a personal choice and it will take you a while to find your favourites.
I've been through Bridgestone, continentals and michelin's,
The Michelin pilot road 3's give ridiculously good mileage and very good grip but are more pricier initially, although for £'s per mile work out cheaper, in this heat they'll heat up too quick and are capable of going off too hot if you're going to thrash it about the twisties, so are good for winter use.
I'm currently on a Bridgestone s20 on front which I'm really liking, absorbs bumps well, gives very good grip- I had no issues with it at a hot track day.
I got a Michelin pilot power 2 on the back and they're very grippy with a decent mileage!
a) what's too hot, and:
b) what happens if they do get too hot? Worried now... :eek

To be honest Christo at 33hp nothing is going to happen, you won't be able to push a tyre hard enough with that for it to get too hot - I would seriously doubt that with that much hp even slamming the throttle wide open in the wet would be enough to get it to spin up properly!
