The car will be a DD and i dont plan on hitting the road course this summer. I will just b driving it. if i do hit the drag strip, i would get another set of rims and put DR's on, so i guess im just asking for everyday driving, what would be the most reasonable tire for the money.

1) Is the car a DD or weekend Toy?
2) Does it get stored? I assume yes living in Idaho.
3) Drag Racing, Road racing, Auto Cross, Spirited street driving?
4) Dry traction, Wet Traction, Road Noise, Tread Wear?
It would be helpful to share some additional info to get a better dialed in solution.
Great Tire recommendations in 19"
1)Bridgestone RE-11
2) Michelin Pilot Super Sports or PS2
3)Continental Extreme DW or DWS (all season)
4)Nitto Invo solid all around summer tire with low road noise.
5)Cooper Zeon RS3-A (all season)
I would NOT replace with any Goodyear product especially living in Idaho.

re-11 doesn't come in the correct front size for stangs, Bridgestone recommends the S-04's instead. You would have to go with a lower and wider front, the correct rear is available. i talked with a bridgestone engineer about the re-11 and he felt the lower profile and wider footprint would change the handling of the car and didn't recommend the re-11.

Michelin Pilot Super Sports or PS2. For overall balance for a non-tracked car these tires are very good. Expensive but what you pay extra, you get in the # of miles these tires will last as well as better ride quality.
