Not available in 15" sizes for a Cobra. There used to be a decent selection of 15's to fit a "Cobra" but most are no longer available. If DOT legal is a concern the top choice continues to be the Avon CR6ZZ. Expensive? Yes but it continues to amaze me that people will spend thousands to get another 50 HP but not spend the money to actually be able to use that HP!

They are likely the best money you can spend on your Cobra (replica) to improve performance, drivability and overall fun factor. I think I am now on set number six. Nearly 50,000. street and track miles. I am getting around 8000 miles to a set if I don't track them too much. Not to discount fastd's opinion, I have had differing experiences. I have been caught in the rain numerous times. I slow down and take it easier on the loud pedal to make it home. I have never felt the tires were squirrelly or unsafe in the wet. They are designed for all weather racing, so? Neither have I ever experienced the tires feeling unsafe when they are cold. In general I drive my car easy for the first 10 minutes or so while oil and water temps come up as a mater of course so tires would be coming up to temp during that time as well. Long story short, I am a convert and a deciple of the CR6ZZ.

What size do you have and it's been mentioned, that there's a medium and soft compounds ?

Have the avons been discontinued now that they have been bought by Goodyear and the factory in England has been shut down??
