Both tire are manufactured as race tires, there is where the similarities end. The GOODYEARs are meant as a track tire to be used on paved tracks, the AVONs were designed for rally racing on combinations of both paved and unpaved roads. The GOODYEARs are a track only bias-ply tire and NOT DOT approved, whereas the AVONs are a radial DOT APPROVED tire. The AVONs are the only tire I recommend for Cobras, original or otherwise.
