The repairs are on my new car are complete and I invested less than $300 on the engine by doing the labor myself. Woohoo! My car is now ready for new tires. The car is a V6 and don't really want performance tires. Does it matter if I get regular street tires or performance tires with a mustang? I was just going to go to Walmart and pick up 4 name brand tires. Which brand of tires should I avoid? Walmart sells Goodyear Viva Touring, Douglas Touring, Michelin Symmetry, Uniroyal Radials A/S. I am not familiar with Douglas. Are they any good?
If you guys recommend performance tires over regular street tires, Walmart has BFGoodrich Excentia GT-H and Goodyear American Eagle H2. The Michelin street tire Symmetry costs $5 more and comes with 15,000 more miles than Goodyear American Eagle H2 performance tires.

Opinions please.
I wouldnt reccomend gettin a cheap tire. Tires are one of the most important aspects of driving safely. With most tires you get what you pay for. A performance tire isnt really what you need, but there are good tires that will last longer than performance and cheap tires, and be better suited to your application. Continental conti-tourings are great tires for a driver, and goodyear eagles are good. Walmart probably isnt the best place to be buying tires, sears has better tires, but they are a little more expensive. You shouldnt have a problem with any one the ones you mentioned, but I wouldnt reccomend something you (or I) have never heard of. But my opinion is the conti-tourings.
If I was you I would go somewhere else, anywhere other than wal-mart that is.
Unless you special order the tires they carry are made just for wal-mart, and are over priced since you cannot say you seen the same tire somewhere else for less.
Go look at www.tirerack.com just to get an idea of what other tires cost. The first 10 choices when listed by price are under $70 a tire.

I would get the performance tires, I mean even if you don't go to a track and drang it often, you'll probably want it to hug corners really well, witch requires resectable rubber, trust me. Dad and I took that capri out after I put sway bars in to test "its pysical limits," its a point and shoot deal now. I can't imagine what's its going to be like after I lower it, put 17x9 rims, and real rubber on the beast.

I decided to deal with people who are more reputable that Walmart. I think I am better off with somebody who specializes in tires so that I can get the alignment and rotation as part of the package. Thanks guys for your responses.
