Default Need help deciding on new tires

Currently I am running Potenza G009's, they were good in the beginning, but lately have become the biggest pieces of crapI ever bought, belts have shifted, get them replaced(prorated) and they shift again, I have one that has to run 1.25oz of weight to keep the shudder under control, another currently at .75 and two at .50. I amgetting rid of them. I am looking to buy new rims andtires come maybe summer, so for the interim I am looking for a good all around tire ie: good ride,not too loud,for a decent(cheap) price as I am going to be upping the rim size eventually. Around here it is cold in the winter, not a lot of snow compared to the northern states, but some, light to moderate. Other that that it is mostly rain and sun. I have been looking at your site and have found a set in my range, and according to reviews and specs they appear good. are these acceptable for my needs or is there another tire you reccomend. This is for the 99 Mustang V6 Convertible, stock 15" rims.

Here are the tires.

Thanks in advance!!

Yes, those would be very good for your needs. I was actually thinking of them when I read your email.
