Yes, the MT,SR.
I'm trying to see if they have them with the size I have now, 295/50/15 ?
There's two reasons why I don't like short/low profile tires. Like you, low sidewall's are for Hot Rods, but not for old school muscle cars, including the mighty muscle Cobra's. A Hot Rodded Cobra could be cool, but would have many...changes, yet still look like a Cobra. There's a lot of tire choices for 16" 18" lower profile, but I like the looks of tire in the wheel well, not tire.
Less side Wall =harsher ride.
Someone here I believe said he had 295/50 like me, but he switched to the 275/60, which means less width, but fills the wheel well more with tire.
That I might think about. I lowered my rear coil shocks to fill up more of the well, and I think, the less in the width, might look better too. When I look at the original Cobra's, the wheel is further in, which has a lot of space between the tire and the fender, which looks nice. My tire is flush to the outside of the fender, which I don't like. At one time I thought of narrowing the rear end, just to get that look.
What do you think of a 275/60 ?
