hey there,

You can try places online like, www.tirerack.com, to get an idea of what tires will fit your wheels. You can basically get any of these tires at your local tire store, but it will give you a huge hand in making a decision. Also be sure to read the reviews for the tires your interested in, people aren't afraid to rip on them if they didn't meet their expectations. I'm guessing your running about 245/40/18, so I took the liberty of including this search in the link there. In terms of brands, I prefer bridgestones based on previous experiences, and would not recommend goodyears. Really, it just depends what kind of performance your looking for.

By my experience Michelin's and Bridgestone's usually last the longest.

Lets see... Nitto, Michelin, Yokahama, Hankook, even Kumho is a good brand. So I wouldnt do anything but those... If you want to get a good deal go to americas tire co. They have low prices and you can even talk them down in pricing...

ive decided on getting the deep dish bullet rims in black finish with chrome lip in 18x10 in the back and 18x9 in the front with some 245/40/18 wrapped around them, how does that sound i think the rims would look good since my stang is blue and i have 20 percent tint all around, still not sureon the namebrand though

hmmm. well if you plan on putting more black accents on your car then go ahead, I think it'll look good, since you have the tint but you might need more than that, like a black side stripe or a mach 1 grill delete, chin spoiler, then it wont look outta place...
