A question of what would you do. About a month ago, I put snow tires on the coupe for the very first time. Here in Missouri, they already came in handy and made a huge differnce in snow.

However I'm traveling to Florida (Pensacola) for 1-2 weeks and I will likely take the G. I anticipate about a 2k mike round trip. Would anyone even consider switching wheels/tires out for that short a duration?

It looks like Pensacola temp will range from 60s to 40s. I'm thinking that isn't too warm and that running winter tires there for a short while isn't a big deal. Thoughts?

zero problems..

i've driven on snow tires when it was over 100.. just make sure the air pressure is correct.

Snow tires are proven to make snow fall wherever you traverse. You have been warned.

They will be just fine as long as you make sure they have the correct pressure, also keep in mind that a snow tire is very soft so you will put some wear on them traveling that far for sure.

I wouldn't push them much as in warmer temps the compound gets really soft. That combined with the taller, choppier design can make for real sloppy handling.
