Default tires

Im moving in a couple of weeks and I want to get a new set of tires. What do you guys recommend, this is the first time ive ever had to buy a set of tires for something other than a a bike a truck or a focus, so I really dont know much about performance rubber for cars. My mustang is driven almost every day and Ill be moving to fla in 2 weeks so I dont think snows gonna be a big issue within the next 2 years. Im looking for something thats has a good wear, but without sacrificing too much performance, also something that wont break the bank.

well, i called an official kumho distributor and they are $140 a piece.... so, it's somewhat of a special order, however they come directly from kumho to your door.

I just ordered some BFG g-Force T/A KDW... 265/35-18 for the front, 295/35-18 for the rear. It cost me out the *** but I have a huge contact patch now... not to mention they look sweet. They are a high rated tire and you can probably find them in a smaller size for not too much. I ordered mine from a local tire shop (in the middle of nowhere, I was shocked they had them)... you can probably get yours from a local tire shop too.

For florida just look for some summer tires, don't bother with all-season. It's the middle of february, and it's 78* out today. Hooraaay. Go to www.tirerack.com and check out all the different styles that will fit your rim.

Also, the Kumho ECSTA SPT is on there for $80 each, the ASX's are for $78 each
