Tires for Kirkham. Billboards vs. ???

[Jamo]

Moved to appropriate forum...

I like the Billboards (what Roger Krause lists as "Cobra tires")...good in rain, comfortable ride, damn good dry traction at the track. Decent enough wear for how we use these cars. "Bluestreaks" are stickier in the dry, but fall off in the rain.

You will want to put the rubber padding in the fenderwells regardless of which tire you use, so no worries re the pinging.

Never had a cop inspect the tires yet. A fixit ticket at worst if you give a good story about how you just came from the track or you've ordered street tires.

Haven't tried Avons, which others are saying good things about.

I too have gone from BFG's to Billboards, what a great day it was.
Pro's:
Ride comfort is great
Good in rain
Sticky so they grip nice in these light cars
So far the wear has been minimal and even (one season)
Look great

Con's
Pick up every rock on the road (only a problem for the trailer queen type)
Flatspots until heated (as a bias-ply should)
Not DOT approved

I am very pleased..............
