Sorry but I really can't give you a review since i have 7 miles on them but I bought them based solely (sp?) on the reviews of it for ALL seasons and since your in FL you may not want it but its a long lasting tire.

I would never put general tires on my car, kind of cheap. I normally run nitto neogens. In my opinion these are the best tires I have ever used, and I highly recommend them. I just bought four 225 40 18 for 430 dollars.

where did you get your neogens at?
Shops are charging me 530 for a set with install, stems, tax, etc.

I bought them from a company on ebay and the website is dubsandtires.com. You can just call them and they will honor the ebay price.They were 364 dollars and a flat rate ship of 65 dollars to my door for a total of 429 dollars. Paid no tax since they were out of state and I got no valve stems but those are cheap. I would recommend dubsandtires!

how much did it cost you to get a shop to balance and put the tires on?
