I dont like those tires, 2 high treadwear, go with falken azenis 615's they are 200 treadwear and they grip like there is no tomorrow. Remember the higher the treadwear the less grip, but they do tend to last more. Your choice traction or longetivity.

I have BFG KDW2's now and they are pretty good, but i'm switching to a different brand tire once these wear out. I'm probably going to go Nitto drag radials in the rear and when the fronts are done probably 555's up front.
If I don't go that route it will probably be Falkens as my next choice.

I love the nitto 555's for daily driving. The 555r's lasted about 3 months. They hooked well but n ot practical for a DD, bought some mickeys for the track. I live in FL as well and the 555's are great.

Falken RT-615's are not even close to being an allseason tire. They are SLIPPERY AS HELL in wet conditions - on these cars anyway. They do have great drygrip, but they get hard as rocks after a number of heat cycles. They are an excellent tire to drive to and from the track on, but not so good for daily driving. I have them on my street wheels right now.
The Khumo MX is a great all around tire. It performs awesome dry and pretty good wet. It's also pretty low price. I have autocrossed on them and my buddy runs them on his 500hp Terminator on the road course. The Ecsta whatever it is all season tire does pretty well too. It's not as sticky, but better in the wet.
