Default Question on Tires?

I'm thinking about purchasing a set of new tires, but I'm not sure if I want to get another set of the BridgeStone Potenza RE-730's, or go with the BFG(or maybe they're Goodyear) T/A KDWS. The KDWS seems to be a little cheaper, but are they LITERALLY cheaper? Thanks!
P.S.- I've noticed that the RE-730's hook up at the track WELL. (low 1.9x 60')

I have had a lot of tires, and Bridgestone Potenza's were one of the best I've ever used.

I've got the BFG's on my car now and they are a decent tire... but I wouldn't buy them if it they didn't come on the car. I'd go with the Firestones SZ50EP's if I wanted a high end tire.
