just look around your area and see what places have specials
definitely check out discount tires as well if you have them in your area, they gave me the cheapest price out of the 20 tire shops i called(i was quoted anywhere from $1600-$2600 for the pilot super sports at other places)
dang, you have a lot of free time... :icon14:

discounttires (america's tires) will match or beat prices you see online...and most of them appear to have the non-touch mounters.

Yah Discount Tire for sure, free delivery is awesome if you live in Canada and get the tire guarantee from them too ,it's well worth it imho.

btw I believe are cars come stock with 1.4 degrees of camber...probably helps with the 1g our cars can pull on a skid pad.

So if you want tire wear reduction go for it and have the camber removed.

I had my tires measured across the tread it was pretty even inside to out when I replaced them at 17,000 km. Check out the Michelin Pilot Super Sports.

I'd leave the camber in, then again I bought a sports car so I could go around corners really , really fast!:tup:

You will enjoy your Z a lot more with a new set and an alignment as they suggested. If it were a Tercel, wagon wheels will do :)

This is what I would do. If the fronts still have tread ride them out and just get 2 new rears and next go round get a set of 4.

4/32 in the wet is borderline for hydroplane resistance imo.

sure it's better than oversteering, but understeering into a guard rail or light pole, or trash bin, or giraffe, etc. is probably not too fun either...
