Does anyone have any experience with these tires on a Cobra?
No personal experience, other than the Kumho tires on my wife's Infiniti G35x. Regardless, TireRack lists a bunch of different Kumho Ecsta tires, but the only one they have in that size is the Kumho Ecsta Platinum (V-rated, 600AA) - a Grand Touring tire. https://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires...omCompare1=yes

They list them as 'Good' wet and dry performance - not Excellent. I wouldn't consider this a great tire for a Cobra. That size is also the widest 15" in that tire, which begs the question of what you'd put on the rear.
