This is my first cobra/high horsepower car. I expect a lot of wheel spin. I want it early, audible, predictable, and often. Once I experience the “wheel spin on demand” phenomenon, I’ll get over it and w/in a year or so, replace them with better tires (MT street radials). By then, I’ll have a basic understanding of the car and can adjust to things happening at higher speeds/grip levels.

Crazy?

I cannot comment from first hand experience about the BFG's, but the Goodyear GTII's that I had, are in my opinion dangerous. They did not give any warning as you approached the limit. So you could be fine on minute, and gone the next.

The Goodyear BB's are great in that respect. Yes, the limits are higher, but they also give considerable warning that you are approaching the limits, and when exceeded, the slip, not break away. The Avons are much the same as the BB's, but they do not give as much warning.

Maybe someone can comment on the BFG's.
