No, they are not. They are mediocre all-season tires. If you never drive in snow or frigid cold (and I'm guessing from your location you don't), you don't need all-season tires, which are designed for snow and extreme cold and sacrifice warm-weather performance in exchange for this added flexibility. Get a good summer tire. Even a good, inexpensive summer tire, like the Kumho SPT ($67/tire in 205/50-15 at the Tire Rack), will give you MUCH better performance than a mediocre all-season tire.

Current Tire Rack prices in 205/50-15:
Kumho SPT $268
Yokohama ES100 $344
Yokohama s.Drive $356
And in this case, the least expensive is the best, too.
