Tires for my Cobra

[CobraSusie]

I have 19,000 miles on my 2004 Cobra, thinking about getting her out of hibernation today, I want a good tire with traction in cooler temps as well as a 40,000 mile tire if possible, she has 473 HP at the wheels, I have a new set of drag radials (so I don't need those) speaking of which I may be selling those, as I bought them with hopes of getting to the track and with the babies I doubt that will happen this year...

I am looking at these... BF Goodrich g-Force Sport anyone have them? Like or dislike them? Basically looking for a good cruising tire...

Hi Susie!

I went with Goodyear F1 GS-D3

Very high dry rating as well as a #10 wet rating. Not a tire designed for the drag strip. Also damn expensive.

+1 on expensive, but no worse than the Michelin Pilots I had previously.

I have the same tires on my car, they handle fairly well, decent traction, are not too loud on the road and have an aggressive looking tread pattern.

Do not expect to get 40 K miles out of any Z rated tire, I think I got ~15k out of the stock tires.

Youve sparked my interest in your DRs. Brand/condition/price? As far as a cruising tire, Id look into BF Goodrich, Goodyear, and Michelin. Those are three top tier tires!

I run the GSD3s as well. love the tire, they are not the typical F1 as most people make the mistake of. but yea, they are not a 50k mile tire.

I hear good things about the Continental Extreme Contact DW. Great in dry or rain. Not sure if you wanted all season or wet grip when you said cold?

Price is easy on pocket book too.

For everyday use, I've always liked the Michelin Pilots. If you have a Costco Warehouse nearby you can get pretty good deals on Michelin tires and they have special sales a few times a year.

Michelin Pilots! If i could afford them but Michelin also has a 60,000 mile tire as well

Been running Bridgestone Potenza RE760 and been fairly happy with them so far. Can't speak to their longevity since this is my first go round with them.

I run the Firestone wide oval indy 500...priced good and perform okay.
