Hey Matt, off topic, but are discounts still available for Firestone locations or am I gonna get the "we already gave you the discount" when I go there again ? 
I still like the RE750s, or maybe the Fuzions.. hmm

Actually now the wear pattern is better after I changed the front camber from 0 degree to -0.5 deg.
I acknowledge that these tires were not OK to mount for legal reasons.

I have driven 944's in the rain and noticed hydroplane effects from tires no where near that far gone (like 2/3-3/4 worn, maybe even less) so for street use especially at this time of year I would suggest new tires (remember your front/rear balance too new fronts + worn rears + rain = oversteer then maybe you have a parts car). For dry track use those sound good (for a day at least). Remember most of us are speakin of US legal realities, the rules the tire mounters may have to go by may be different in Ontario.
