Default 1998 Mustang GT, Help with tire size.

First of all I want to say hello to everyone. I am finally getting my first mustang tomorrow. 1998 Mustang gt. 99k miles on it and it needs a few things. It sounds like a beast. The sound of that v8 when I turn the key is like a dream. Its amazing. I noticed though that the tires are very close to needing to be replaced. My question is this gt has cobra rims on it. I'm curious what size tire I should get. I dont have the car yet so I cant look at the tire but I wanted to get some pricing options done. Its pretty much going to be a daily driver so I dont need racing tires, but I dont want bottom of the barrel either.

Thanks for the info. Plan on seeing me around a lot as I like to ask lots of questions

Nitto 555 extremes are great tires, they have good treadwear and still grip. The siz will depend on the measurements of the wheel, diameter and width. They are probably 17x8 wheels, typical tire for them is 245/45/17, but you can go a bit bigger in the back safely. Find out what the exact specs are for the wheels first though.
