Default New tire suggestions??

Howdy!

The stock Pirellis on my '06 (32k miles) are low and I'm lookin' at getting new ones. Can anyone suggest any better tires? I'm lookin' for a good tire that's gonna last longer and are reasonably priced. I just got my Mustang less than a month ago, so I'm not sure what some goo options are. Any suggestions would help!

Thanks and Gig 'Em!

You don't mention size ? Tire rack is a good source IMO. It depends what you are using the car for? Dif for dif uses ?

I'm a big fan of the cooper zeon line for moderate priced performance but if you want a good blend of performance and wear go for mastercraft I love them and the price wasnt too bad at all

My Nitto 555s lasted me a full 12 months with plenty of spirited driving when my car was my full DD

Wow, my bad. I feel like a dummy for not getting too specific.

They're 235/55ZR17 98W.

Thanks for any suggestions.

As much as I'd love to, I don't have the money to get new wheels :/

That would be nice though....

Well, that would be nice then. I'll have to check into that.

What about brand or model though?
