Good choice. Wish they would've come in the sizes I needed for my SS. Believe it or not you will have to deal with snow in Atlanta, just not nearly as much or as often as up in the Hudson valley. Atlanta usually gets more than I do here in Greenboro, NC.
Good luck with the relo to Hotlanta

Glad you like the Nitto's though. I know what tires I will be getting for a DD performance car (unless I can afford some goodyear f1's or along those lines).
