Default new rubber or cams?

Sup guys, maybe you guys can help me decide on my new mods. Current mods are...

Aem CAI w/Bypass/Caround Cat/Jdm 4-1 Header/Apex n1 cat-back/Tokico Illumina Shocks/H&R Sport Springs

Orginally what i had planned next was some cams, cam gears, valve train, and dyno tuning. But after reading the posts about the sale going on at costco for the Bridgestone Potenza Re730's for only 354 installed, i began to start thinking of doing suspension mods. If i got the new tires, i would have enough money left over for an ITR sway bar with the reinforcement kit.

I only have 4000 miles on my tires, so i was thinking maybe i could just hold off on it and go with the cams. what do you guys think?

I say go for the tires. That's a good price for some Bridgestones Not only that tires are CRUCIAL to your car's performance and safety. I'd get those first. Besides that power is nothing without the tires to get it to the pavement.

that's if you can even sell the stock tires

i'd get the cams and use up all the rest of the rubber you have right now. the stock michs are horrible, but they're not impossible to work with
