I m looking to get new tires and I want to handle better on corners. I m putting them on the old turbines for now till i get money to get summer wheels. I have wagon springs in the back so I want something that makes it look better to. What sizes should I shoot for and any suggestions on what tire.

Does anyone know if 255/70 would be too tall for the rear of a Panther? I'm getting that size for my 15x7 wheels on my truck and they don't look too big in the rear at all and I know that Panthers have big rear wheel wells too.88 Town Car (wrecked, for sale)

sounds almost too wide for a 15x7 wheel..but maybe not.
I have really liked my Firehawk tires thus far...very good grip...handling is awesome with them!
I got them in 225/70/15s...stock size for a PI.
they are pretty cheap too compared to other tires in the same size.
but I do like Tom's idea for tires...Murph's tires are the same.sigpic
