Ok, I have several new pics in my gallery showing the new tires. You can compare the looks of the BFG TA's and the new GY BB's. I was able to go for a nice ride yesterday between storms. It was beautiful out, not cold, and the air was clean. Snow level was down to 2200 feet and the local mountains were covered. Quite scenic. About 5:00pm it was pouring down rain again.

The tires had severed flat spots at initial take off. Smoothed out about 5 miles later. The car was definetly shaking until then. At slow street speeds they were squirly. Hunting as others have said. I have to say at this point they do feel much better at speed and especially nice while cornering at speed, and seemed stable when going from dry to a wet spot on the pavement. The BFG's I had did not react very steady doing the dry to wet transition. But when I was going slow the GY's squirlyness make me wonder if they were the best choice for me. They do pick up a lot of sand and gravel. They look awsome and really give the car some edge. There is a Cobra get together next Sat. weather permitting, and I look forward to show and tell. Check out the gallery for pics.
