I'd go Pirelli's. They aren't number one in their catagory on tirerack for no reason! They've got excellent tread wear and awesome grip in everything. I'm not buying another tire for this car and I've been through many a brands, nothing touchs this tire, nothin. And full street/handling trim on 245/50-16 at 36psi I was cutting 2.02 sec 60's. I find that semi impressive for a tire that's an all season. I'm expecting low 1.9's with a drag setup because as is the car is level, no weight transfer.
As for the BFG's, from what I've used they're the brand that you can trust. It's no performer but it's better than Kuhmo's (crapo's). Never buy Kuhmo's unless it's a semi-beater of a car. NONE of their tires do well in the snow and the tread wear is junk. Oh, and the 2 sets of Kuhmo's I've had ALL had to be balanced dynamicaly (weights on inside and out) with huge weights. The Perelli tires I have now don't even have weights and they're smooth as glass. Also lower road noise than any of the other tires I've had which include dunlops, kuhmo's of course, BFGs, Goodyears, and Conti's.
