Hi,

I plan to drive to Florida from Canda in the middle of winter. I cannot
use all season tires, as they are not suitable where I live, as temp is
too cold. I do not wish to carry all season tires in trunk of car and
switch them upon arrival in Florida.

Is there a winter tire on the market that can withstand the mid 70 or
less temp in Florida in the winter season without wearing out?

What brand and or model do you recommend?  Kindly reply by posting
only.

We use BFG AT's for all year around.  They are a decent compromise
tire.  I recommend the narrowest profile that will fit for the best
winter traction.

Even on our Cherokee, the 225's were better than the current 235's for
snow traction.  It is a weight to footprint thing.  Too wide spins too
easy.
