Smile 15" tires

For a year now I have read every opinion, researched every tire in the world trying to keep the 15" look and get performance. I held hope for Kuhmo with the STX to only see them cancel production of the front size tires. I held my breath for the cooper take over. I followed and exhausted every little and last lead. I sent emails to tire companies and engineers. But no. No high performance 15" tires.

Today a new set of tires went on to replace the pathetic BFGs. Do the follow every little change in road crown. Yes. Do they pick up every little peice of gravel. Yes. Will they last only a year or two for the miles that I put on the car. Yes. Are they twice the price of tires that will last five times as long. Yes. Are major pot holes, curbs and other road hazards more a concern. Yes. If the first concern about your Cobra is the paint could these be a problem. Yes. Do they have a tendency to bleed down. Yes.

HAVE THEY LIBERATED THE COBRA LIKE THE PEOPLE IN IRAQ. YES!!!!

FREE AT LAST! THANK GOD ALMIGHTY I AM FREE AT LAST!!!

If you are strickly a waxer/cruiser, stick with the Yoko, BFGs, Goodyears and Dunlops. But fellows, let me tell you, if you want performance and can live with the above, RUN, don't walk, to the phone and order a set of Hoosier sports car DOT bias street tds. They will set you free!!!!!!!

Nothing short of amazing.
