Isn't the ES 100 a pretty soft tire? I think perhaps the wear rating is 180? I could be wrong, but with that rating it is doubtful you would get 23k miles out of them.

i cant afford to switch out my fronts when they are full of tread. i know this goes against your advice but that would be a waste

i am thinking about the kumho exstasa asx all season ultra perfomamce tire should do well in south florida where is mostly sunny with rain
