205/55 15 tire recommendation

Searched and read - now distilling all the info down to a choice.

BFG KDW2
Toyo T1r


Mostly street with 5-10 auto-x a year. No track/DE days. Top guys in my auto-x's are running victorracers and I'd like to stay kinda close!

Opinions?

I ended up getting the KDW 2 about 5 months ago and love them. My 2nd choice would be the Toyo RA 1's (I believe they were called). I have yet been able to Auto X the KDW's but they handle really nicely for daily driving. Low road noise and lots of grip....much better than the SO2's I had previously.

Unfortunately I have no information on traction use of the KDW's and wearability for any DE's or auto X's yet.

FYI
I went ahead and took the plunge on the BFG's
Tire Rack is offering them right now for $70 a piece in 205/55WR15!!!
That's less than half what I was quoted locally, and $25 cheaper than the Toyos!
