I'm just going to say it:
While there are smart, experienced, knowledgable people on this forum, pretty much none of us have broad enough experience across tires to give an objective perspective.
Pretty much any NEW tire will beat the hell out of the ones you're replacing. They'll feel quiet, grippy and responsive. They heat cycle gradually over the next year or so and before you know it, they lose their performance edge without you noticing.
The stock Pirelli PZero summer only tires that come on the Brembo/Track Pack cars are specially modified for the Mustang and were widely praised as one of the best stock performance tire ever put on a car. They pretty much kicked *** right up until people started getting into the 10,000 mile range when they really start to wear out and change...and sentiment turned on them. Replacements are expensive...and I'm pretty sure that the standard Pzero 255/40/19 wouldn't even be the same as the OEM version.
Here's the deal: If you're racing the car, talk to the guys who have logged many track/autox/drag strip runs and who go through tires in rapid succession....this likely won't help with an all season tire (or any street tire) but they'd likely have valuable insight.
If you're just looking for good all around all season performance, buy a reputable brand tire with a decent warranty. The differences are bound to be small so buying on price is probably ok. Keep an eye on your tire pressures and minimize smokey burnouts.

I agree except some tires work best for racing when they are half to 2/3rd worn. That is why some racers shave there tires. If you are in the south the pirellis are fantastic. If you are in the North they really suck. There is a reason the super cars use them. Suspension driving style all play a roll. Type of track ETC. for street driving Good year Cooper all build a great tire. Performance and value you can not beat the Coopers. Or even Good Years on Sale.
I live in Florida and the Stock Pirelli are fantastic.
