Hey Guys:
I spent 12 years in the tire industry (Rubber Chemist). It is very very expensive to develope a new tire. Molds alone can easily make 5 figures.

I would be a very happy guy if Goodrich or Goodyear would supply their existing 15 inch tires with Kevlar or Fiberglass belts. I think it would reduce the front end shake that many Cobras have at speed. Reducing the siping would help reduce rock hits to the inside of the fenders as a cleaner tread pattern would not pick up as much road debris.

Bob
