Please
Dont get BFG's, too hard for these cars. Used to have them on my old CCX, dangerous at best. They have the grip of silicone, laid rubber at every stoplight as they need a bigger car.
Heard Cooper's Cobra's are ok, never had them myself.

Remember BFG's are std cheap tire for muscle cars which are bigger and heavier vehicles.
A light-short wheelbase car tire is better off with soft and sticky.
Try to get soft, also remember you dont need 295 in rear if its a good tire. A 289 body is narrower than a 427 body thus smaller tire ok.
I run the BB fronts on my rear, they work great, Powercushion up front.
Dont overlook the Polyglass or vintage tires by Kelsey.

Get a tire with a low mileage rating as its softer.
Remember what ages these car tires is the heat cycles, they will harden before they wear out most likely.

Always look for the best grip so you dont end up in a bush.....
