If you compare the tires listed (all 5 of them in the 295-50 X 15) plus the Cooper Cobra tire this tire is almost perfect in dry handling and performance even though it's tread rating is 500.

Clois I know it's a different application than what I had, but after about 35K they developed the magical bubble in the sidewalls. When I tried to get another set of them I wasn't able to. So I wound up going with a different set of radials on the front. I did like the tires as far as their ride and driveability. Hope this helps you out some.
