Worthless Tire Thread
When my Goodyear Bill Boards finally got SO bad I was forced to buy what ever I could find NOW because I was leaving Hawaii real soon. Having heard how worthless the T/A's were I went with Goodyear GT-11's. There pretty worthless as well, they got NO traction.
BUT,,, these tires are a riot! They leave big black rubber marks without even trying. They are excellent for practicing "throttle over steer" and kicking the rear out in a corner at relatively low rpm. I just play with throttle to KEEP the rear end out. Such tires would be down right dangerous to a new Cobra owner, or one who has yet to appreciate just how fast these cars can get away from you. But with some experience, by golly they are FUN! :) I'll order a set of Bill Boards again in due time. Right now I just ordered the Goodyear SLICKS and am having them hand grooved for at least an appearance of "legal" while I drive to the track. It's nice having two set's of wheels. One for race tires and one for street tires. I'm gonna miss the GT-II's when the Bill Boards come in. To bad I don't have three sets of wheels, one more set for "drifting" on the GT's. :) Darn, typo in the headline, this thread has no worhts, really.... |
Mine had the GT II's on it when I bought the car. You are correct, they are "Worhtless" ;) tires.
And they can be dangerous. I found that they do not give much warning when they are going to break loose in a corner. |
"Fun" though they be, I to have noticed there is little or no warning when they just let go on seemingly good, dry asphalt when you DON'T expect it. So even with experience I still consider them dangerous for the street.
