You wanna put Jeep tires on a Mustang?!? Surely not...

Firestone does make the correct size and type to run on a Mustang. However, Tire Rack, Tires.com, and others will have many reviews on tires, and they should be a decent guide for you.

What kind of tires are you looking for? All season or more of a summer tire?
Here's a test on a bunch of summer tires.

You should look at what's called Eagle GT by Goodyear. That's what I have. It's pretty quiet, it handles well but not too stiff

I'd go with the V12 Evo's from Hankook. I'm running the BFG KDW2's and as they wear, they get loud as hell. I won't be buying them again.
