My most important criteria are: 1. tread life (because I hate buying tires) 2. dry traction (it rarely rains in my part of So. Cal) Assume money is no object. (yeah, right.)

While I agree that the KDs defeintely kick ass, they are sized similar to BFG's DRs. 275 max on a 9" rim with the KD. I had 285 Pilot Sports and they were also too large IMO for a 9" rim. I'd stick with a smaller tire for optimum perf.
