Nittos, great in the rain, have 100 treadwear rating, so they last a while but this means they dont hook up nearly as good
BDGs wear down fast, but hook very good.
it depends on how often you want to buy tires. id say the BFGs would wear twice as fast...

Jusr looked it up, Nittos have a 300 treadwear rating as well.....So they will wear about the same.....
Anyhow I would choose the KDW-2s, I like the tread design better and Nittos are notorious for running "thin"

The lower the number, the faster the tires wear. 555r (drag radial) is the one with the faster wear.
If you want a good street tire, skip both and get the Eagle F1 GSD3. It'll outperform both hands down, rain or shine. Only like $20 more per tire at tire rack.

Are the KDW II's available in 17's yet? Last I checked they were only available in 18's or higher. This was about 2-3 months ago though and I heard they were going to be making them in 17's. I'm currently running the kdws which I like but I would love tread design better on the II's.

There is not many NT tires in the 17" sizes, mostly TT (traditional tread)
