Default Goodyear Eagle 'Cobra' Tyres

Im in the market for a set of Goodyear Billboard style tyres. I know where i can buy them new, but though i might as well see if anybody has a set they want to move before i buy them new. If i have no luck, i will probably bring some over from RKR in the states, so if anybody else wants a set, let me know and maybe we can get a discount on a couple of sets.

There is a dealer for them in Oz. I don't know how he compares to shipping costs from US.

Guys,

I have a set of Billboards that are new BUT 3 years old, they do have a set of Halibrands 6 pins with them.

Was keeping them as spares for the Kirkham.

PM is interested.

Soulman.

I think I can answer my own question. They only come in 15", have no speed rating and maybe therefore uninsurable, by some reports?

I'd be keen to hear a price...
Not being dot legal is a bit of a shame.

It means they're pure track or show.
Pitty cos they're unrivalled for look on cobra.

Thanks Craig. Yes they look really good, but for my next set of 17's ... not much value really. So, the jury is still out. I have had good experience with the Sumitomos for street use. Any other suggestions?

Craig, Do you have any "worn out" Billboards?
As I wouldnt mind trying a set on my rims to be sure they will fit before spending the coin on new tyres.
