I sell tires daily. I hear from customers "how much can you sell size xxxxxxx for?"
Your question is pretty much along the same lines. A couple others nailed it when saying what do you want to do? I always ask in response "Do you want the cheapest you can get? Or something decent?" The answer is almost always "Both". Doesnt work that way. Most tires sold are, unfortunetly, bought solely on price. Tires are the epitomy of compromise. What sticks well, wont last long. What lasts a long time, will squeal like a pig around corners and slide alot.
To put it bluntly, figure out what you want out of the tire, and buy the one that does it. Throwing in the "value" word means you will be disappointed one way or another with any tire on a Mustang. Use that term when buying tires for a Camry and you'll be as happy as a queer with a bag full of dxxks!

I just picked up a set of Goodyear assurance tires last week. Supposed to be decent all weather tires which I need, supposed to last 80,000 miles which means I won't have to worry about switching them out until well after college (if the car keeps going for me)

Once I decide what kind of traction/treadwear I want, I'm gonna pick the cheapest one that has that rating. It would be nice to know if those ratings are meaningful.
