I had considered the ET/street drag radials, but after actually seeing the tire I decided it did not have enough of a tread pattern for me. JMO.
You might want to call them & confirm this for yourself.
I might add I could puchase the S/R for less money so my choice was not based on price.

Yep, I too spent a lot of time on the phone with them before I made my decision. Was told the S/R's were a great choice for a Cobra.
Chuckle notwithstanding, based on the experience of driving on them for a year I have to agree with the tech I spoke with. I really like the way the car handles with them.
There are a few cc.com threads on M/T that serve up a lot of opinions from Cobra owners that have driven on their various tires.
