Best all around Tire

I am ready for a new set of Tires on my 02 Mustang GT. I hate the Gator backs. I have Fuzion HRI right now that have done well but I was looking at maybe going BF goodrich. Anyone have any suggestion? Got a tight buget so Bang for the Buck is really important here.

I don't think you would want what was left. I never went to see it I just couldn't. But the picture the Fire Marshall showed shoed the Valve covers, intake and every other plastic part burned off the engine. You see the rockers.

**** I hate thieves. Sorry to hear that your pride and joy was taken from you and killed. Just remember to keep your head up and everything happens for a reason. Maybe it is time to kinda start looking ahead at what is coming up in a few years.

Well insurance Company Offered me 9300.00. Now I get to go around to 3 dealers and get Quotes so I can Counter.
She was a 2002, GT Premmium, Mineral Grey Bullet wheel. she had 95K on her but she had a new set of Plugs and ran like new. My little girl keeps asking "where Daddy's Car Go?" Shes 2. I think that is the hardest part of the whole deal.

Her car seat was in the car. Somebody is going to He11.

It was an honest 14000.0 miles Very Clean drove like a brand new car. It was Tropical Green too. Pretty color. The lowest they would go was 12,000.00 , They wanted 16,000.00 Origanally. Best I can pull together is 11,000.00. Problem is we just bought my wife a car so I have no money for payments right now.

I am still looking.

Going to look at an 03 True Blue GT Coupe. 1 Owner 40k miles.
says he might take 10 for it. Down side ... It's been super charged and I am in an area that has been getting more snow the last couple of years.

This is turning into a hard decision...I am thinking more and more about something like a G6 GT. Still sporty, 4 door for my Doughter and much better on poor weather. I'll let know how it turns out.

Thanks for input Glenn. You rock

Hey Man

I think I am going with a G6 GT. One heck of a ride and it is four doors so I can get the littleone in and out easy. My Friend has one and he loves it.

g6's are nice! I know a girl that has one and she hates it in the rain. I don't know what tires she has tho. When the heck are they going to come out with a 4 door mustang..... Did I just say that lol. By the way my 06 is pretty awsome in the snow with the stock tires. I do understand needing to use that back seat and the drag it can be.
