Default tire pick

I just bought 18X9 wheels and I am now looking for 265/35R18 tires. Which type of tire is the best. I have a 2002 Mustang GT. I have looked at pirelli P Zero Nero's and Goodyear Eagle F1 All season but I am not limited to just those two. I have Eibach pro kit installed already for a 1.5" drop.
Does anyone know how much clearance I will have with that setup?

Tires should be first determined by your driving needs and then decided to your budget.

What are they?

The goodyear F1 A/S tends to be on the noisy side. The pirelli has a good ride but the traction won't be as good as the goodyear. You may also want to look at the bridgestone RE960 AS or michelin pilot sport AS+.

If you want a good hookup, I go with Nitto Nt 555 or Falken ZE 912's. I've run both and they hookup alot better than the stock Pirelli zero nero's.
