Title: looking for tires
Post by: DaveC8656 on October 21, 2007, 11:24:23 PM
On the HM home page there is a beautiful picture of a black Cobra with Goodyear tires.  What are they and where may I find them.  They look really tough. Thanks, DaveC

Those are what are referred to as "billboards" . Not sure where you can find them, might try a search or post on CC (club cobra).
Supposed to be a great track tire, but not very good on the street. They flat spot when parked overnight and can get so soft, that they throw off pebbles and anything you drive over.

Scope out this page for your tires and comparison of traction ratings:

Hey Dave,  I think you can find those Goodyear yellow label racing tires on the Goodyear racing site..just keep looking.  I know there not DOT approved for the street, but who cares anyway.   ;D


I searched every tire on the market to find tires that met my needs, high speed rating, size, tread design and rubber.   I ended up with Mickey Thompson S/R Radials, they look great and really stick to the road, so far so good.


Best Regards,  Bill   ; ;)
