Default BFG KDW, GY GSD-D3, Dunlop SP 9000

I've seen lots of info on the first two, but the Dunlops continuously get zero comments on any of the LS boards. What is the deal with these tires?

Can anyone give me the lowdown of how they compare to the other two?

Here are categories for thought/comment:
wear
dry grip
wet grip
sidewall pliability
daily driver (ride, noise) vs drag vs autoX

TIA

None of the above! Get the Avon Tech M500 tires from tirerack. I got all 4 for under $700 shipped. They are 275/40/17. These tires rock, both in wet and dry conditions. Other tires I've had are the Bridgestone Potenza SO2 Pole Positions. Those were great tires, but these are VERY comparable, at almost half the price! Just a suggestion.

i have kdw's... they were a decent tire, but i went through them kinda fast. only about 20,000 miles. alot of that has to do with my converter lighting them up all the time though. great wet traction, decent dry, but definately not a drag radial. even when hot, they didn't hook well from a dig. dunlop isn't a bad tire, just most people will choose something else for the money. alot of people like the goodyears, i'm just not one of them. they don't go on anything i own.
