I for one would like to see an additional size made in the Billboards so they could be used on 289 bodied cars. The sizing similar in all aspects to that of the G7 600 x 15 & 700 X 15 Blue Streak Sportscar Specials would fill a large void that Goodyear is missing in the current market place. I believe that the number of tires used by all the Cobra owners with 15" wheels that would actualluy use them is a small percentage in terms of tire volume HOWEVER from a marketing standpoint the fact that they would be on a high profile car such as a Cobra would be a plus. I think given a choice, a large percentage of us would gravitate towards Goodyear, providing the tire was DOT approved. Since that's what came on the cars, it's what they are and were raced with AND the fact that Shelby was always a Goodyear Race Tire distributor. They belong on a Cobra!
