Recommende tires for 1996 GT

[31648]

My son just purchased a 1996 Mustang GT. The tires that are on it are Goodyear 245/45/17 F1 GS. They are cupped and ride hard. They also are very loud. I am looking for suggestions on which tires to replace these Goodyears with. We live in Cleveland and he probrably will try and drive it some this winter. He is at college about 50 miles from home. He drives mostly in Interstate I-480. I looked at the Continental Extreme Contact tire and the Pirelli P-Nero M&S at The Tire Rack Store on the Web. Would appreciate any suggestions for tire purchas.

Thanks,
