Default In Dash GPS & Recommend a Tire

(1st post, so hello everyone)

I have a '96 3.8L w/T-tops. I've had for 8 years and have gone from 100k-175k. No major problems as of yet (I baby it).

I bought a Garmin nüvi GPS and currently have it mounted on my dash to the right of the center console. I'd like to install it in that opening under the radio...you know where you throw your cell phone and keys. There is enough space, so I figured someone must make an aftermarket mounting system. Does anyone know if anyone makes this?

Also, I'd like a recommendation for a nice all season tire. I live in So Indiana so I have to drive in all climates (heat, rain, snow, ice). Brands don't really matter, although I'd like to buy domestic if possible .

Thanks for your help. If I haven't been specific enough let me know and I'll try to explain better!

Just wanna let you know, finding your tire size is going to be the hardest part with that car. You may even have 235/60 r16's on them, when they should be 225/60 r16. the 235 is just easier to find. Ive been looking for a while and i cant find anywhere that stocks the 225. ( those numbers may be vise versa). They both fit, its just your od may be off. walmart will order them for 200$ a piece. Not really worth it.

Yeah I've been through 3 sets of tires over the past 80k miles...I know the size. Just wondering what everyone thought would be a good aggressive all-weather tire for the vehicle.
