Hi Bernie:
I have Goodrich Eruo's (like the TA but much higher speed rating I think?? now no longer available sadly) on my Cobra.

I am currently running 21 Lbs air in the front and 22 Lbs air in the rear for normal street use (Cruising).

When I was at a higher air pressure, I found the ride quality too "hard" and too much feedback was transmitted to the steering wheel and arse.

The softer tire pressue has provided a nice ride quality.

Now, if you are using your car for other than general cruising, your tire pressure may need to be higher. I have read some old road test reports in which tire pressures (low) were the culprit in squirrely and squirmy handling on original Cobras.

I would be be very interested in the feedback from others as I am new to the Cobra.

Cheers.
