Default KDW 2 or GF SS A/S?

I am going to be purchasing my new tires for the t/a here within a week or so. I want to know what you guys think would be a better tire based upon your experience with either. My car is a good weather driver (no snow, I'm in salty NE) and does see rain. The A/S are good overall tires from what I have read and heard so far whether wet or dry. The summer g force also looks like it could be a good fit for me and my bird. The third choice I have looked at was the KDW. A little more $ but seems nice. A couple more responses about YOUR experience is what I am looking for to make my final decision. Obviously the A/S is a better tire for different weather but which tire is better overall? I am not really concerned about price. Finally, any other potential tires you have had good experiences with? Its crunch time! Bird wants to be back on the road!

what size are you running? ur showing 225s in the links...shouldnt they be 245/50 16 or 275/40 17? and these are two very different tires. the kdw2 is a summer tire and the other is an all season. although i dont have experience with either, i have strongly considered the kdw2's but instead bought firestone wideovals. finally, off topic, where in NE are u?

I am on stockers for now. Didn't have enough cash to get a complete setup. Maybe next year. I fixed all that I meant to link the 245s but tirerack doesn't have them. I realize they are different types of tires I just want to know which is better overall. The wideovals I don't like because from what I can tell they are not ZR. I am in Omaha. How about you?

I just put the BFG SS AS on my car and am pretty happy with them. That said, my car is a dd that will see freezing weather and occasional snow. If I was not driving in those conditions I would have gone with the KDW2's.
