Default best street tires

Birthday is coming up and I'm thinking about replacing the rear tires on my mustang before summer because they are going a little bald. Don't need d/r's. Just a decent tire with good grip thats not like $150 a piece. I don't drive in the snow so not worried about that but I do drive in the rain from time to time. Any advice. Thanks.

I use Generals. They seem to work well for me. They are an all season performance tire. I got them from discount tire for a fair deal.

I have 18 inch cooper zeons that I got from a local discount tire store. They were rather exspensive around 750 for all four, but well worth the cost.

Yea I seen him in like 3 other thread I posted on and they all said "nice..."

I have used Sumi's as a street tire since I have had my car, they are a good all around tire for street use. You would need something more sticky for high speed corning, or auto x. By street I mean STREET. They are cheap, you get good mileage, and grip is ok.
