I thought it had come down to a pretty straightforward choice of three:

1) If money is no object and you want simply the best -- Avon CR6ZZ.

2) If you want good all round middle of the road tyres --Mickey Thompson ST (or SR if you're into a more aggressive pattern).

3) If you're more hardcore (and please let's not get into another argument about insurance companies, legality, difficulties in balancing yada yada yada .... ) but if you are more hardcore and you want the all-time best looking tyre for a Cobra, and you're prepared to live with its foibles and the consequences be damned, then there really is no other choice -- Goodyear Billboards.

Having said all that, my car is running Hankook Ventus H101s simply because they were there when I bought it. They've suited my fairly docile style of driving quite well but they're now becoming difficult to source and I think the MT SRs are a better tyre so they'll be going on when the time comes.
