Goodyear still makes a tire in this size,the Eagle GT2 as does Yokahama(the Avid S/T) ,but alas they are only S and T speed rated as well.There are non DOT rated tires available from Roger Kraus Racing .Realisticly,how many of us drive for any lenth of time over 116mph anyway.The size tires commonly used on the Cobra were designed for much larger/heavier cars and pickups that place much heavier loads on them,so I would guess that the actual speed rating is probably a little higher than what's on the sidewall.I frankly would be happy with a tire that just had a much stickier tread that didn't give up wet weather traction,and didn't cost a small fortune.New rubber once a year could become a Springtime ritual,and our garages would always have that"tire shop"aroma.Ah-life would be just that much better!
