Well according to the Tire Rack Ultra High Performance All Season Survey they rate pretty poorly.
I actually have BridgeStone Potenza RE960 Pole Positions on both of our Subarus, and can definitely attest to those being up to the ratings.
Awesome All around traction in Dry, Wet and Snow
I have ZERO experience with the above BFGoodRich Tire, but I do love my KDW2s on the Z-28
Although if you are shopping for All-Season Tires I would look no further than the 960 Pole Positions And they appear to be right in line pricing wise with the BFGoodrich KDWs

Get those you will be happy. As for being #6 in its category, its people complaining about ride quality and noise. If you drive a V8 camaro then theres no way you will hear them. As for comfort then aren't rough on nice paved roads..
They will get you through downpours of rain, cold days, an inch or two of snow, and will hook easily. I love mine, getting them for the front in a few months when the fronts are shot.

I have had my KDWS tires on my tires for 28 000 miles and I can still rock corners like I just got them, but now I can hear only mild tire squeal with a very slight, but very predictable slide/drift/fade when I am having some fun.
oh yeah and I still have 4/32 tread

Two problems:
#1: I would never consider the KDW2s an all season tire, I see you want to drive them in the snow BUT THEY ARE classified as Ultra High Performance SUMMER Tires
#2: the KDW2s are only available in limited sizes below 17" and for the F-body you'll need 18" rims
So depending on OP's needs this tire may not work
PS While I love the BF Goodrich KDWS series, I PROMISE you the Bridgestone Pole Position A-60s will blow them away for the same price
