Hi John, so seeing that this is not a done deal yet tell me what I can expect with the MT's vs the Avons. I am being told by the folks on the SCOF site that the MT's are well suited for this car and engine if used for general street driving and nobody ever mentioned Avons, but here at Club Cobra Avons are front and center along with Goodyear BB's.

While Goodyear BB without a doubt look cool do they provide equal or better performance than the Mickey T's?

Since I have never experienced driving a Cobra full time other than the test drive at Hillbank and those were Bridgestones, I cannot relate to what is being said here, so can you or any of the other guys on this thread provide some insight on expectations?

End of day I want what is best uh, well, hmm how to say, and safest for me and the Beast. If indeed anyone can be safe driving a Cobra.

Cheers, John, AKA, tin-man
