Snow on the Yukon roads in summer

I am planning a trip in Yukon during the summer (July to September) and I wonder what I can expect in terms of road conditions and what specific equipment (for the car) I would need.

I found out that winter tires are never required in Yukon even though I assume that in winter, it is very useful if not essential.

What about the summer? Do drivers there tend to use winter tires all-year-round? Would it be useful to have some?

Is there any other equipment that would be useful like a shovel to remove the snow? I assume there would not be that much snow in summer over there, though.

I plan on driving mostly on Highway 1 or 2, i.e. most likely not north of Dawson City.
