Barrett cars are often not driven in a spirited manner (or at all for the most part). If you want to just look at your Cobra, the BFGs will be great.

If you want to drive your Cobra in a performance manner, put a performance tire on it.

The bottom line is that the cheapest way to improve the ACTUAL PERFORMANCE (vs bench-racing performance) of any car is to put sticky rubber on it. Period. You have spent good money on a light car with a performance engine and your going to skimp on the part that actually makes the car go, stop, and turn?


In case you think I'm just guessing, I have experience with BFGs on my BBC Corvette. One day it got away from me in a big way and cost me a lot of money. I put sticky tires on it ever since and overall the cost of ownership has been much less.
