New Tires from Costco

I got my last set or tires for my Passat from Costco and was quite pleased. I'll be waiting on a $60-$80 off a set of 4 coupon, but I'm looking at these two for my Evo...which would you pick and why?

BF Goodrich g-force T/A KDW
or
BF Goodrich g-force T/A KDWS

The KDW looks more aggressive, but the KDWS is more expensive for some reason....

Links if you want them?

KDW

KDWS

I wouldn't reccommend either of those, most folks like the Falken Azenis 615 in 255/40/17. They are a great street and auto-x tire, but get greasy on the track during a thirty minute session of hot laps...
I use them for the street and paid ~$145 each. They can be found on the web for as little as $130, but you might have to wait for them to get some in stock.

I had the KDW's on my SVT Contour and liked them. And I can get these KDW's mounted, balanced, out the door for just over $100 each? I'm not an autocrosser, my car doesn't see the track. I have fun driving it on the street, but don't need these super aggressive tires that wear out every 12,000 - 16,000 miles. I've loved the factory tires, but don't need them. I want something that looks nice, provides good traction in dry, decent traction in wet, and will last more than 25,000 miles under normal driving conditions.
