Heheh.... Florida has a TON of rain. Matter of fact, they get showers every
day from spring until summer. Best advice TonyC gave me when I moved there was
to get some good tires, brakes, and windshield wipers. Good tires and wipers
for the rain, good brakes for the idiot snowbirds. I had some worn out
Wranglers, and replaced them with Michelin LTX M/S tires. They have been
great. Whoever said they "wear like iron" is right on. I had friends that ran
them with 75k on them, and they looked brand new. Great in the dry, great in
the rain. I've got over 50k on mine, and they still look new.
