If you are planning on running BFG's on a Cobra then good luck!
You will find them to be like being on a skating rink and many here (including me) have been through that experience in the past....IMHO, just plain dangerous. 
Now, if you are putting them on a heavy car like a Galaxie, Chevelle etc then they are great. Do a search on this site. There are many threads that will explain what I am talking about.  |
On a heavier car they are no better. I've had my share of scary times with them on an early A code Mustang, which I suppose outweighs a Cobra by 800 lbs. +/- & has no where near the horsepower of the Cobra, so it isn't just a horsepower thing that is a drawback to them.
I took them off my '66 Galaxie 500 as soon as I bought it, and you will find many many posts on the vintage Mustang forum about their notorious lack of traction. Of course you will find more posts about how great they look and are loved for that reason alone.
It's a tire a that sits squarely on the intersection of great looks & scary traction. A deadly combination.
