Have to buy tires
Have to buy another set of tires and trying to decide between these two.
Bridgestone Potenza S-03 Pole Position
Kumho Ecsta SPT
Presently have the Kumho's on my car however they only lasted 14k miles. Please let me know who has had the best experience with these.

I have the Kumho SPTs on my car with about 10K miles. Plenty on tread left
even with my competition alignment (I'll have to flip them in a few thousand though).
For the price, I don't think you can beat them. YMMV.

Currently right now I have the Kumho Ecsta's on my car, I think they are 100 times better than what was on the car stock, but they wear extremely fast 14k miles on them and they are bald. I drive aggressively.

Since the other tires you are looking at are summer tires I am assuming you are either somewhere you don't have to worry about freezing temps or have dedicated winter wheels. My suggestion would be Kumho ecsta MX's. More grip than the SPT's cheaper than the bridgestone's.

Dallas, Texas so yeah freezing temperature's are non-existant here. Not looking to keep the car for more than a year or two, so want to try and keep this under $140.00 a tire.

Cheap and long tire wear generally do not correlate. However, if you keep it a year and a half, a drive 20K miles in the process, you might want to consider shelling out more $$ if you go through 2 sets.
of course, YMMV.

I just got some Nitto tires. Figured since Louisiana is having a sales tax free weekend, why not. Plus, two of my tires had at least 3 plugs in them and the plugs were going bad. I hate construction.
