new tires for the cobra---input on possible 295 for the rear of a superformance

Dunlop and BF Goodrich both have decent 295s. I heard that Goodyear now has some but I have never seen them.

Tires
 
I chose Dunlop's for my SPF - I am even slightly impressed with the amount of grip. They don't look as pretty as Good Years, but I was advised against this brand.

I searched all the posts on the whole site and didn't find any negative comments about Dunlops.

They work fine for me.

Is Doug Reid preparing your car?

will 295's even fit under my fender well or will they rub?

Glad to see you around the forum. According to a Goodrich tire chart, if you now have 275/60 tires on it they measure 28" tall and the section width is 11" The 295/50 tires measure 26.7" tall and the section width is 12.2" You might want to do a bit of measuring, but I would guess they would fit. Surely some of these SPF owners could wake up and tell you for sure?

At dynamic motorsports they offer 295's as an option on the spf.
They should fit.

Mine came with 305/50-15. I changed to 275/60-15 since I'm a road guy not a drag racer.

I had Goodyear 295/50/15 on my last Cobra and just put 295/50/15 Yohamas on my new SPF. They fit perfect and look great. I heard the Dunlaps and Yohamas bite better than the Goodyears.............
