What is the best set of tires for around 800$?

I paid $711 for 4 Nitto NT555s.
After driving on them for a few K, I've come to realize dry grip leaves something to be desired, wet grip can be scary. They are noisy... ride quality is OK.
I'd say in all the above categories, they are a bit better than the goodyear runflats, but not even in the same league of a premium tire like the GSD3.

There are 2 tires that I have run on the Corvette that I really say I am very happy with. The Nitto NT05 street tire and the Falken Azeni both tires give you fierce grip on a dry surface specially when they are warm and they perform fairly well in the rain. I do a lot of Mt runs and track days but i can say that my confidence level sky rocket when I drove with those tires. Out of those 2 the Falken I would say have a bit more of a bite but over all 2 great tires to run on Corvettes.

I have a little over 8,000mi on a set of Bridgestone Potenza RE960AS Pole Position's, stock sizes. They came out with 11/32's thread, still got slightly over 9/32's to go. They have a 400 UTQG and are very quite going down the highway. Very pleased with them.

I am debating between the BFG KDW2's and the Toyo T1R's. Les Schwab can set me up with the Toyo's for $999.89 installed. I found a set of BFG KDW2's at onlinetires.com for $761 shipped no tax :-) I was quoted about $50 total to mount all 4.
Looking at 265 40 17 and 295 35 18 for the Toyos and 275 40 17, 295 35 18 for the BFGs.
Are the Toyo's really worth $200 more? mmmmmmmmm.............

I bought General tires and threw away my pilot sports. The PS would not hook up at all. The general tires have a better ride, better traction, quieter and only cost 200 each
