Default Tire help!

Im looking for some new tires only because i let my wife borrow the car and now ive got a flat, a cigerette hole and a beer spot. Im wondering what kind of tires i should get. Ive tried reviews online but i can only find minivan drivers. I dont really want the ones that came with it i would like something better. Any ideas? thanks

PS-Im an aggressive driver

BFG g-Force T/A KDW2s for the win.
And as wide as the 16x7" stocker will allow.

falken 452s are the best bang for the buck summer tire from my experience, i have ridden on the kdw2s, they have a cool tread and perform well but are expensive. oh by the way divorce your wife.

I have these summer tires (General Grabber UHP) on my daughters 04 mustang V6 and they handle great and are inexpensive. If you want all-season tires try the General Altimax HP.

I don't know if you have 17" or 16" rims....I'm guessing 16"?

Right now Costco has a sale through April 11th, when you buy 4 Michelin tires, you get $70.00 off.

Here's a link showing the prices and suggested tires for your car;

I had to take my '04 E-350 in last weekend for a set of tires. It was expensive only because of the load capacity of my van. It was $800.00 for a set of four.....that's like a set of performance tires! UGH!

Haha divorce isnt a option. I did some additional research and i decided to get the falken sincera SN-828. I got all 4 with new valve stems and the tire replacement certificates all for 385.00 gotta love that military discount. lol thanks for the advice. Although i didnt really follow any of it but maybe it will help someone else who is searching on this lovely site.
