I also like the looks of tire filling up the wheel wells, rather than wheels. The latter makes Cobra's look like a street rod, not a old school muscle car. There's nothing wrong with either though. Plus, less sidewall on the street is harsh, but less sidewall on the road race track is much better. Too bad there isn't more tires for the 15", as time goes by, there's less and less.

Those Michelin TB15s are 35 and 40 series, so not much sidewall. The lower aspect ratio may make them good track tire options for some by lowering the car and providing a lower effective gear ratio w/o actually changing gears.
