Which tires are for me?

I drive a 2007 Mustang GT and the other night I hit a curb which punctured my front right tire. I intend on replacing all four tires because my rear ones are getting pretty bald and the two fronts for balancing purposes.

My tire sizes are:
Front - 245/45 ZR18
Rear - 285/40 ZR18

I currently have on continental extreme contact tires. I use this car as my daily driver but in the winter I store the car away. I was wondering if I could get some input on which tires people recommend. I am in college and would prefer not to buy top tier tires but at the same time not buy low quality.

At the moment, I am considering purchasing Nitto NT555 for a grand total of about $660.

How wide are the wheels on your car? If they're bigger than 8.5" I would go 255/45/18 in front and 285/40/18 in the rear. If not, I'd go with the 255's all around. There are plenty of great tires out there. Just check Tirerack and pick the one you like the best.

I am not sure what width my rims are, I will have to take the wheel off and check the back of the spokes to see if it is printed on there later today. Why would I go with 255's all around when I could just replace the current sizes that I have on?
