Question What is a good tire to purchase for a Mustang?

Anyone know a good tire to go with?
I don't mind if it is a wet or dry condition tire.
Any opinions folks?

I had a set of four Nitto 555's last me 17K miles with normal street
and highway driving.They have a great tread life and the design of
the Nitto 555's look very sharp.They also seem to stick to the ground
and hook we'll also.I subjest you get Nitto 555's.

Agreed - for street tires in 17" its hard to beat the Nitto 555's. Be aware that they also have drag radial 555's - which really stick and go, but won't last as long.

I as well have the Nitto 555's, no complaints. Also great stick at the track for a street tire.

I had the Firestone SZ50's once, I thought they were pretty good.
