Default Cooper Cobras or M/T ST

Last summer I bought four M/T ST tires. I posted this single post thread on mounting tips should you have pin drive wheels or large brakes Mounting & Balancing New Mickey Thompsons on Pin Drive Wheels
Now, I have been told the Cooper Cobras and M/T ST tires are really the same. I have also been told that the rubber is slightly different and that M/T rubber is more suitable for a 2500 lb. high horsepower car. You can find those threads and posts on CC pretty easily with a search. Maybe it's BS; I don't really know for sure. In the limited driving time I've had I do like the M/T ST tires and I do a bit of high spirited driving. But, I'm not Morris and I don't need Avons. In fact, every year I get closer to 70 I seem to hit 70 in the Cobra less often (not counting interestate driving). You will enjoy the Cooper Cobras or M/T STs. They are really a nice tire for the "high spirited," but not big-time racer, Cobra owner.
