Default Which tire BFG KD or Nitto 555r???

Ok, I have a dd camaro that I like to play around with and I'm lookin for some new tires. I want something that hooks good off the line, but I can still spin 'em if I want, and works good in the twisties! Plus, I don't want to replace tires every 10,000 miles either! I don't take it to the track as of now, but may in the future just to see what it'll run! I know, I want an all-around tire, and most tires are good at one thing or another! But which would be better, BFG KD's (like the ones on the SLP option cars) or Nitto 555r's???

I have BFG KDW's and I love them, they grip great, I turn like I am on rails and I hoook great on the street and the track. I was doing constant 13.2- 13.4. With just a lid and cutout, but when I added the KDW and ditched the Rikens I was making 12.9 and one 12.8 pass

kd's and nittos arent even in the same categary as far as tires go

the kd's are a much higher quality tire and are designed primarily for cornering grip
