"Serious driver......Bias ply...."?
Does that then mean that all the F1 drivers aren't "serious" drivers? 
The GY Billboards are race tyres, so it isn't fair or reasonable to criticise them for not making them in radials IMO.

After much thought, I decided to go minimalistic on the Avons, instead of the big, in-your-face style of the BB's:
R Front
R Rear
L Front
L Rear
I tried a dark blue, a white, and the yellow. Yellow won. I'm pretty happy.
Cheers! |

Why would anyone put a BFG tire on there Cobra is more of a question or any other radial in a 15 inch size besides an Avon...

Replacing BillBoards
Sorry to all the Purists out there. I replaced the dryrot, cracking GY BillBoards with the BFG T/A's. Glad I did. The ride and stability is 100% better and more confortable to drive. As much as I love the look of the BB's, I can't help but appreciated my Cobra more, now with the new radials. Just My Two Cents.........Art

I'm not a purist, there is absolutely no performance with the BFG, they are down right dangerous tires for a powerful car...at least the GYB have some grip...

My Avons have 4400 miles on them and they look near new. Lots of hard driving on them......not just putting around...
Should go 10K or better at this rate.
