While Goodyear BB without a doubt look cool do they provide equal or better performance than the Mickey T's?

Since I have never experienced driving a Cobra full time other than the test drive at Hillbank and those were Bridgestones, I cannot relate to what is being said here, so can you or any of the other guys on this thread provide some insight on expectations?

End of day I want what is best uh, well, hmm how to say, and safest for me and the Beast. If indeed anyone can be safe driving a Cobra.

Cheers, John, AKA, tin-man

Then you should upgrade to the Avons. There are several threads on the forum that discuss guys' impressions of the Avons and GY Billboards--you should peruse these and make your own call.

I have a set of Avons and Billboards for my car, and wouldn't run anything else (given other choices in 15" tires). The Avons provide excellent overall performance; and the Billboards look awesome on the car--and deliver very good grip (with the slight negatives associated with a bias-ply tire).
