The KDs are probably fine, 200 treadwear, though they are not a popular tire at all when it comes to the autocross community which is where tire manufacturers look to when creating a high performance street tire. The Kumho MX and Falken RT615 were the dominant tire for quite a while until the MX was no longer produced. Along came the Dunlop Z1 two years ago, then this year Kumho released the XS which is supposedly the hot ticket, doing really well on the national level.

For the price, I'd pick a Dunlop Z1 or Kumho XS over the BFG KD as the KD is $50 more in 245/40/17 size.
