I mentioned a little while ago that my camber LOOKS bad, but really isn't... according to 2 shops that ran alignment checks on it.
Anyway... my $160 Bridgestone Potenza Pole Position OS-2's are shot.  One an a half months, and about 4,000 miles... down to the threads.  I bought my tires from Tirerack.com, and haven't had problems with any other tires... but now I do.  They said go to a service center and get them checked.
This is my project for tommorrow.  I'm gonna rip someone a new arsehole and get my cash back.  I WILL NOT take a replacement set of those tires 'cuz THEY SUCK!
But I need tires to buy.  Educated suggestions only please.  DONT SAY DUNLOP!  
I am looking for good traction, and good treadwear.  On stock s14 SE alloys.
Thanks guys (and gals) !

Bridgestone RE730s have got to be the best buy out there.  Treadwear rating of 300 for a tire that grips and handles better than the Toyo T1-S.

What is the size of the rim?  Isn't it 16 x 7?  Or is it 16 x 6.5?  Stock s14 SE alloy.

I heard Kumho's are good, treadwear and z-rated for speed. I'll be getting them when I get new tires.

Kumho are crap IMHO. Get Sumitomo's before you get the Kumho. Sumitomo's are actually reallllly good for the price.

I've got Yokohama "Parada's" on my s13 and they're nasty. They have a tread like no one else, best street tire i've seen.
