Not Ranked
Roscoe/Curt;
I'm running the Shelby Aluminum 10 spoke wheels,15x7,with some Wal Mart 215R60/15 tires.... This is my everyday street stuff.... I'm in the process of getting another set of wheels and some racing tires, probably Hoosiers....My car weights in at aproximately 3200lb with me in it at the track,a lot heavier than a Cobra....
The tire pressures I use were not neccassarily meant for a Cobra,but as an example as to what changes can be made with tire pressures and what happens when changing pressures.... There is little else on my car that I can change at the track to improve handling other than the driver right now,but some Cobras have adjustable shocks and adjusatable coil overs that can be changed easily at the track....
Also, was trying to point out that every car/tire combo will be different,chaulking the tires and "playing" with your air pressure is one way to find the limit of your tires on your car with your setup....It's also a lot of fun....BTW after a hard 15 minutes on the track I generally had a 2 to 3 pound build up per tire of air pressure and it was fairly even across the front and about 1 lb less on the rears....
