Not Ranked
tamanaco,
Another reason to avoid these tires is their wear rating of 440.
That's a good long life indicator for a street tire on a daily driver-type sedan, but I think it's not too good for a Cobra as the traction suffers whenever the treadwear rating is increased. Lower wear rating tires will last many thousands of miles on a Cobra.
The higher wear rating tires do not respond well on a Cobra if you need to do something in a hurry like braking or steering to avoid an obstacle - mostly they just suddenly slide. Don't ask how I learned this...
I'm not familiar with 15" sizes so I'd suggest looking for a 200 wear rating tire. This is the stickiest DOT approved tire. They provide better traction in the dry for sure - you could pay attention to users comments about wet traction once you identify the stickier tires.
If all you want to do is make clouds of tire smoke, the 400 and higher wear rating tires will be fine LOL
Enjoy,
Tom
