what about 16" wheels?
|
Limited (very limited) tire choices with 16's.
|
more limited than 15"? seems the 16''s in general have higher speed ratings.
|
Most of the 16s still out there are for mid-80s Corvettes, Ferraris and Lambos. That's why you see the higher speed ratings for them. The best speed rating that you will probably find in 15's are H (130mph). I'm not sure what the Goodyear Blue Streak/Billboard bias ply tires are rated to, but there are several guys that can attest running well above a buck thirty with them.

Consider the 15" Avons
You might want to consider the 15" Avon tires.
They are V-rated, and feedback I've heard so far on them has been positive. There are a few relatively recent forum threads that discuss them. I have a set on order from Roger Kraus Racing. http://www.rogerkrausracing.com/Cobra/ |
Stentor is right...forgot about those Avons. Prepare to write a big check though.

I like my 15" I'm also a driver and like all that rubber look of the vintage cobra.
You need to decide what type of driving you are going to do. If you drive the car on longer overnight trips or to work on occation and drive the car more often the the average cobra owner I'd stay with the 15" I almost have 3000 mile on my car cince 10/06 I'm gonna drive this thing, so the 15" for me is great for the ride maybe i'd sacrifice a little handling, but I must say it handles the windy curves of RT 15 in CT with no problem. If you plan on road racing the car or auto crosses ect. may be the 17" for more perfomance handling. gary |
