Also race tires without additves for long term use. Likely the same situation.

Race tires are race tires, street tires are street tires. Neither does the others job well.

I think Mark IV is right. Avon's site clearly states "competition compound" but also makes a point of stating "DOT Approved" and that they are radial tires. I'm hearing scores of 9 or 10 on dry pavement and near zero in the wet.

I don't think there exists the "perfect all-everything tire" for a Cobra that we all wish was out there.

No easy answer to this conundrum!

There are plenty of Cobra and GT40 owners using their Avons for racing.

And I don't know many folks running their Cobra's, GT40's or what have you, in the wet/rain. So maybe that zero is because not many, if any, have any experience on wet pavement.

All I know is that I'm NOT ever going to be an owner of Billboards for any reason except possibly to roll on and off a trailer to shows.

Botox injections? Maybe regular massages? Hell, I know plenty of guys that pay for that for their wives for other forms other forms of "long term use".

Sorry, had to do it.
