Goodyear eagle gt and bf goodrich kdw

Im torn between the two i Want to know which one is a good performance tire that can grip but can last me for a good amount of time the stock tires where on my car for 30k miles. THe eagle gt have a thread rating of 400 and the kdw have a thread rating of 300 but i know different manufactors make different numbers. which do you guys think is better for what i need.

i have about 12k on my kdw's and still have about 6/10s left, and i'm not easy on them. stick very well and ride nice. I have noticed the road noise is getting a little worse the more miles i put on them but not unbearable super swamper loud.

I have Eagle GT and i love them. the tread wear is 440 so its a hard compound tire. it shouldn't wear out quick. Plus i got a 50,000 mile warranty with mine.

i have michelin hydro edge on mine, the highway was a complete river on the way home from work the other day and water was shooting up 5 feet into the air on both sides. and i was still able to go pretty fast while everyone else was slamming on their brakes in the right lane.
