Sizes??? Many tires come in limited sizes.
315/35/17 and 255/40/17
I've tried:
Nitto R555 300 compound, good street tire, just not up to 570hp/585tq.
Nitto NT-01 by far stickiest non-drag radial, 100 compound, handles best, no good wet (wouldn't recommend driving on wet roads at all).
FFR recommends:
Toyo (sister companies BTW) Proxies R888R, 100 compound, sticky, good in rain, everyone says they are too noisy. Yes, people in Cobras. I've never tried them.
Tire pressures: 22 psi for these in a Cobra.
Drag radials are not recommended for lateral loads, so if you are going to do any cornering, manufacturers do not recommend.
