Need help selecting new tires

I plan on making the trip up to Michigan for this years dream cruise from Louisiana. I need to get some new tires very bad and i'm trying to figure out which ones to get. I currently have the BFG KDW and I like them a lot. My first choice is to go with them but I wanted to see if you guys have any opinions. Thanks for the help.

Ive had many including KDW. I thought they were ok but not any better than the cheaper ones. If price isnt a concern then Michelin pilot sports are clearly the best. If you want a cheaper set go with Kumho MXs or Falken 615s.

Well I want something that is gonna last a good bit and perform well. Michelin cost too much and I like the KDW but I need to get something before the 14 and the fronts for the kdw's are on back order 2 weeks.

I bought a set of the BFG Super Sport A/S and absolutely loved them! They have a 400 treadwear rating and they hook up extremely well in both wet and dry conditions. I had them in 17x9.5 which is pretty common so I'm not sure if they have them in your sizes.
