I agree. The toyos last quite a while, I used one set to run an entire 24 hour race on the Honda. The Yokos are very hard and not suitable for a short track like Firebird. The Cobras handle so badly anyway that the stickiest tire you can find will be needed just to try and keep up with any japanese econo car in the corners. They are fun on the straights, but you can do that for free on the 101.... I am sure there are plenty of sages out there who will argue about the handling comparo - we were lapping the Factory Five Cobras in the Thunderhill 25 hour race about every 8 laps with a 125HP Civic... tell me that none of those guys could drive! No excuses or whining - suspension has come a long way in 50 years..... Go for the Toyos, they are really good value.
