Terry,
As I’ve stated before on this forum, I’ve run the BFG TA in 265-15 F and 295-15 R. The tires are not suitable for the power that a Cobra will produce together with the short wheelbase. I use the Goodyear Cobra slicks from Krause (on15" Trigo wheels) on the track and I can’t imagine the car handling or adhering any better. As a result, I now fun the treaded Goodyears, also on 15" Trigo wheels (See Cobra tires on Krause site, not DOT) as my street tire. The traction is almost as good as the slicks and I consider it a safety issue. The cars simply make too much power for a cosmetic performance tire. You will eventually put your foot into it or while driving on twisty country roads, enter a turn too hot and you will need the adhesion.

Cheers, Pete C
