How do we get a company to make good tires for a Cobra?

Ah, we're talking about 15" here.....unless you think the tires on your link will shrink to fit.

Why do my MTs have the same traction rating as the Avons? That doesn't sound right.

Patrick, I think perhaps the numbers don't reliably convey performance and feel?

Well if that's the grading criteria then I could get an A+ in advanced astro-physics.

That's exactly the point. In larger diameters there's lots of choices. In 15" there isn't. I posted that to show all the superior tires to the Avon at significantly lower prices. The fact that there are really few choices in 15" is the only reason people pay the high price for Avons. They're way overpriced for what you get. The link is designed to show what's available for far less for more commonly used tire sizes. The Avon's sell only because there's few other alternatives in our 15" size. If any of those linked tires were available in 15" at similar prices, it's likely Avon wouldn't sell another tire. Certainly not at $400 per. My original post was in seeking a way to perhaps try to correct the availability situation in modern, fairly priced tires for our cars. Obviously not many are interested in pursuing that. Fair enough.

McDonald's is significantly lower than a cowboy ribeye dinner....your once again utilizing price in your equation. You go ahead and buy 8 tires to the AVON 4 if that makes you feel any better.
