Blake,

Probably some 245-45-17 Capital Negotiators. I put some on Chad's 98 GT right after we bought it. They have good traction, ride good, not too noisy, look good and there is a local tire dealer that sells them $380/set.

When I bought the car it had Goodyear Eagles, at about 20K I put Goodrich Comp TA ZR's on it, they cost $850 and lasted about 20K, I bought some Sumitomo's at $560 cause I thought if I was going to spend $850 for tires again my wife would trade the damn thing, so I went cheap and the next month she bought that 02 hardtop and I got the convertible. And stuck with crappy tires, I hated them from day one, they are road walky as hell and don't ride very good.

The Capitals are H rated and have a 380 treadwear, so they may even last a while. I get tired of buying expensive tires that don't last!
