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. |
I'm planning on sunburst wheels on the front and back of my street 427, so both would get the same width tires.
I'm currently running Goodrich T/As on my S/C, which suck--they are "S" rated, and have a treadwear of 400, but are quite squirrelly especially on wet roads. I was heading out to the Pacific Coast Highway Saturday and there were some run-off springs that made some of the corners wet. On one turn I accelerated very mildly and thought I was going to get to know the Porsche driver in the oncoming lane a little too well. I was able to limit it to a little fishtail, but it was really unnerving and makes me determined to find much better tires for my street car, if not for the S/C.
TireRack also has Pirelli P600s at $250@ with no reviews.
