Not available in Oz but maybe tyre rack to import some. I'm told they are quite inexpensive if imported.

I've got Yoko 352's but will replace them when ready with these more modern construction Cooper Cobras.

Would also look kewl with the cobra sidewall.
These tyres have a 'S' speed rating and a UTQG rating of 440 A C - I have similar tyres on my Cobra.

These tyres are better suited to large sedans/muscle cars - not so great with a light weight cobra (good fun to smoke tho...)

I think Stephen is after something a little higher spec (softer + higher speed rating)

Stephen, I think the Mickey Thompsons previously mentioned would be my choice if going for a road legal tyre.

I went to Donellans in Box Hill and although they could get the Yoki 352's they were seriously pricey - and they only do off-road Mickey T's

I think a call to tirerack will be in order....

Good luck.
