alright guys and girl(s),

here's my problem. one of the many at the moment, but one none the less. i bought a set of dunlop sp sport 9000 tires about 3k miles ago and they have not lived up to what i expected. since i still have enough tred on them to return them to tire rack and get a credit, i'm seriously considering it. in fact, i'm pretty sure that i will be doing it this week. here is the question. i was really considering the bridgestone 730 potenza's before i bought the dunlops but now i'm really looking into the pilot sports. the pilot's are a bit more money but have a great history. i'm just really worried that if i get the potenza's i'll have the same problem that i'm having on my dunlops. the major problem is off ramps and corners and what not. i'm not able to push the car anymore. even when i had my gs'c's that were on there stock i could push it. now with new tires, heck, it just doesn't feel right. so my question is, the pilots or the potenza's? i'm leaning towards the pilots right now, i really want the handling. but i really do want to know what you all have to say.

any thoughts would be appreciated. thanks.
