I agree with the above for what it is worth. I never got the Michelin myth, the tires don't live up to the hype in my very unscientific and regionalized experience. It is great that some guys like them, but I don't see hardly anyone run them in my area as a replacement tire. That said, I don't live in Florida. We have frozen water on the roads and about billion metric tons of white stuff on the roads and it ain't Coke. Check out Cooper ( decent tire), Nitto (really like them), and even Falcon which has become a popular AT tire out here. I have one set on a older ZR2 and so far pretty impressive, especially for the money.
