Do they "hunt" and wonder with every groove or dip in the asphalt?

I want a no-brainer,...long road trip, cruising street tire. Something that cruises effortlessly at 80 mph with just a thumb on the steering wheel.

Yep...I looove the looks of the BB ..and would not hesitate to get them if they behaved like a daily driving street tire.

BB's are not for you.

You want to have a good grip on the wheel incase they do decide to move around on you.

I have a set of new GTII's stashed away that I had shaved a bit. I've been considering selling them, but somewhat on the fence about it. If I ever decided to use them, the opportunity cost of time and irritation of the effort involved in finding more would not be insignificant.

How about Cooper Cobra tires? Any good?

It is a tough call running a tire that does it all.My BFG's do an Okay job, not race tires by any means,at least in the twisties.Once tried a set of drag radials, hated the picking up every bit of sand,but sure liked the grip.It boils down to what looks good,and does the best job possible on the street.Racing, calls for another set of stickies.

I didnt see 295's on there, in fact im not sure they make a 295 in the 15's. I would give them a call just to see. I would also check tire rack and a couple other local dealers. I was told the same thing when I bought mine about not being able to order them by a couple of people. I did find someone locally who would order them without a problem. Im running 275's on mine, they are a pretty good tire for the money and one of the few that are available in white letters if that is what you are looking for. Do you have any "tire man" dealers there? thats who ordered mine.
