The Michelins are more of an all-season type tire that should offer good grip, and mileage. The kdw2's will have great wet and dry performance, but I don't think they will wear as long as the Michelins. Hope that helps some.

Maybe consider the exalto pe2 instead of the a/s. It would be a better comparison to the kdw2 as far as dry performance. Both are great uhp tires. The a/s is a good tire, but just in a different performance category than the other two.

Note that Michelin makes BFG so either way you are getting a quality performance tire.
