Question 295/40/20

I know there has been several recent posts on this topic, I have one last question. IF money was NO object, what is the absolute best all weather, max performance tire out there? I've already drove on dunlop sp9000's and was curious about BF's g-force kdw's, as well as any others?

I have the BFGoodrich kdw's and I would buy them again in a heart beat. Excellent ride quality, good traction, and they also have this little lip that protects the rim ( a definite plus ). BFGoodrich is revising these tires this year and they will have a super cool tread pattern.

The only downside is the $ 360.00 price tag

I have been very impressed with my Toyo Proxes S/T 295/45/20. The treadwear is an amazing 420, much higher than any other tire out there.

I have Goodyear 295/40/20 Ultra Plus. YR rated instead of ZR.
YR is higher BTW. Cost $209.00 each thru TireRack.

Had the G-Force Comp TA on My Contour SVT and on one of My COBRAs, didn't much like them because of LOUD road Noise!!

Just my opinion.

The BETTER tire was the BFG Comp TA ZR, but they're discontinued.

I hear good things about the goodyears, but I don't really care for the tread pattern.
