Mike Peperni, You have the GoodYear Eagle R-SA'* (stock tires on the early 2000+ SSEi'* & SLE'*), which are performance oriented tires.

Well im up here in Canada, you kinda need winter tires. I took off my 20'* for the summer and went down to (ughh)....16'* . i put on a tire made by Signet, they are made by Nokia(the cell phone people). They have worked wonderfuly in the snow, they are speed rated to 160 km/h and they dont make much noise. I live on a bottom of a hill, the other day we got a massive snow storm, nobody could get up the hill ! Dodge rams with AWD were just spinin, cars were stuck everywhere.......I pulled out and went right up and off to work (DOH!) Winter tires a must....

Just replaced my rsa'* and they lasted about 60k with a little more to go if i chose. being winter i thought it would be better to have new ones though! very satisfied with those tires. always handled well and lasted like a champ!

I posed this same question a few months ago.... almost picked up the Pirelli'* (same as '05 Mustang GT) but went with the Michelins (Energy MX. plus) - VERY happy in all respects -- Consumer Reports Online has a great review on these types of tires

Re: need new tire recommendations for the 17 inch wheels.
Anyway, I don't have much choice with these sizes. P235/55/17. Looks like it'* down to the Michelin Energy MXV4 PLUS, or the Pilot MXM4.
I have the Michelin HydroEdge on my LeSabre in the stock size 215/70/15 and they are smooooooooth.
Eventually, I'm going to change to a latter year Buick wheel with 225/60/16 Michelin'*.
