The Cobras are light cars and the softer side wall is nice. On a heavier car I don't how the cornering would be. There are a lot of windy canyon roads out here (Mulholland Hwy.) for example that I frequent and these tires hold the corners very tight. I know another guy with a Superformance and I believe he has 275 fronts and 325 rears. That's more tread than I need but they look evil.

Nice look!

Geez, I'm confused relating to tire size - I currently have VR50's on my Cobra, 245/50 front, 265/50 rear - Roger Kraus Racing has billboards, 26.5X8.0 and 26.5X10 - is that equal to my rear tires with the 26.5 really mounted on an 8 or 10 inch wheel?

Avon tires are listed from 225/65VR15 to 295/50VR15, so it's easy to relate those sizes to my tires - but, Dunlop's are listed from 475/1000-15-CR65 to 650M15-CR65 - WTF?

Also, it's seems to me that the diameter is important with my current tires around 24" and the billboards at 26.2 front and 26.7 rear. I'm thinking that the higher diameter numbers will look the best, although more diameter may not result in a better driving experience, I'm clueless on this issue.

Anyway, any input will be appreciated.
