Looking for new tires.

My rims are the 19" "machined" ones.
My priorities, in order would be:
Reduce rear end bounce.
Improve vague, wobbly, handling.
Not too wide that they protrude and I'd end up curbing them.
Preserve range.

I like the idea of wider rear tires as the car is RWD biased.
I realize there's no perfect tyre but just interested in the pros and cons and which are the best at stopping the rear end bouncing!

Thanks

The rear end bounce can only be solved with a different set of shock absorbers (dampers). There is a thread on modifying a pair of Koni shocks for an ICE Mustang, so look into that. ??

There are a number of threads on tires. Dependent on how you drive, there are several tire selections. Many people have gone up one 10mm section width which puts a little more rubber on the road. This does have the effect of reducing range, though. If you’re going to retain the stock size, there are several EV tires that should retain your range. The drawback there is that they will handle more or less like the original tires. ?‍♂?
