Thumbs up My choice was

Billet Specialties Rebels high polished aluminum 17 inch mags w/ Pirelli P-Zero tires..these tires were designed for the Ferrari 456...pictures in my photo gallery.

Street (auto) TA radials seem to do well, but the All Terrain TA's I have used in the past tended to get belt seperation after 50% tread wear.. suspension was always to spec, Balanced (supposedly) and alignment always. I have an all new set on my restored International Scout 2, and we shall see how they last.

The P-Zero Pirellis are soft and will not last as long as many tires, but then "she" (my cobra) is not going to be a daily driver, and they should stick very well.. for 1/4 mile I would use rear DOT slicks, and all 4 slicks for racing, although I don't plan to track/road race with this car...at least while she is new.
