If I lived somewhere warmer ... I would still have the ad07's on the car. My problem is that for maybe two months I would get optimum performance. (at night it still gets cools and outside of July/August its just too cold for the ad07's).

I am not tracking the car or doing any events, so wet traction and traction on imperfect roads is more important. I put on some ultra-high performance all season's on the rear (Michelin Pilot Sport A/S Plus) and will do so with the front as soon as they wear out! No regrets so far.

In the dry they are 95% of the ad07's
In the wet they are stable and an incredible improvement over the ad07's
In the cold (anything under 50'f) they are essential. The ad07's were at best scary in cold weather.

For me the difference is that I can actually take the car out when its wet or cold and it extends my enjoyment of the car for several months!!!
