FYI on the BFG T/A-KDs. I like them and have been running them for almost 2 years now (on my 4th set currently), but you need to plan on replacing them at around 6500 miles if you go to every AX. They are slippery for the first few hundred miles, then they handle very well until you have about 30-35% tread left, when they get slippery again.
I always try to get that "last" AX out of the tires, since there is still plenty of wear before hitting the wear bars, but it is always a bad idea.
Cost-wise, they are pretty competitive with the Bridgestones, Michelins, and Pirellis - my last set (17") was only $950 installed and balanced at Discount Tire (of course, I don't take the extended warranty - when the tires only last 6500 miles, there isn't any point).
