Go to www.tirerack.com and search your size. You can refine your search by picking what type of tire you want such as "ultra high performance" / "high performance" / "all season high performance". You can look at the prices and when you find a tire that's priced "right" for you read the reviews. This should help you decide what fits your needs. Hope this helps. By the way welcome to the site. FYI this is mostly 1st generation orientated.

Ditto, THE TIRE RACK!!

And also check Walmart out too for inexpensive tires. Their Douglas brand..

I'd recommend getting Kumho's, they are the best priced tire yet have great handling, traction, treadwear rating, temperature rating.
I run them on my 2003 Infiniti G35 and my 69 Camaro.
Kumho ECSTA SPT
(Ultra High Performance Summer) 275/40ZR17
$117

Kumho ECSTA ASX
(Ultra High Performance All-Season) 274/40ZR17
$115


You get about 25% more life out of the all season, but you would get a little better traction out of the SPT. I run the SPT on my 69 Camaro

These are available from Tirerack and many local tire shops too

I like tire rack, but also just found that I like Discount Tires Direct more. No tax, free shipping.

I'm a big fan of the BFG G-force-T/A KDWS for the street if you ever have to drive in the rain. These are what I run on my daily driver.
