A very well discussed topic! If you are looking for straight line then one of the drag radials would be the best bet. Problem is they are not good in the wet and don't last long and the handling on a Cobra has not really been established. If you want something that will work in the wet, I would go with the Avid s/t. If you don't care about the tire hunting and picking up every rock in the world, Hoosier t/d. Once again, no wet traction. If you, and your insurance company can live with it, not to mention the local law enforcement, the big letter goodyears from Roger Krause (and others) look great. They are a full tread but are not DOT appoved.

15" tires are a major compromise in the sizes we need them.
