Go to a 225/60r17 Goodyear Assurance Comfortred, best riding tire out there period. But you lose the high speed rating your stock tires have, down to 118 mph. Car wont handle like it use to, but will give you a better ride.

you know a friend at work who owns a 95 cobra said he couldn't get over how smooth our new 05 car was. I love my car with rattles and all.

It's a mustang!!!! Remember that! I think the ride is great. I can't wait to drive her home everyday from work. And the dash noises can be fixed. I rolled a small dishtowel up and stuck it in behind the glove box in between that metal bar and the plastic air vent. What causes the "chirping" sounds in my car was that plastic rubbing against the metal brace. The towel stopped it and now I barely hear it. Enjoy your stang!!

My, you people are helpful! [:'(] How about recommending aftermarket shocks and dampeners, springs, different tires etc? And no, I can't avoid the bad roads. [:@]
