I have them and they got me through a Chicago winter no problem.As a perfomance tire? No. You live in Florida why did you get a snow also rated tire? I got NT555"s for the summer.

I just bought a TC with them on and they do pretty well for an all season. They're for sale in the for sale section because I want summer time.
