Thanks Paul!

Yes, CR6ZZ's are the Avons of choice.

I used the same file for both cars... simply reduced the size of the letters for the GT40 and cut them on a Mimaki plotter. Pull out the letters, stick the stencil to the tire and a couple of quick coats of Krylon Fusion for plastic in satin white. Immediately pull off the stencil and throw it away. It takes about 20 minutes to do all 4. Just be sure to wipe the tires down with either lacquer or synthol enamel thinner first.

Man... can't wait for spring!

Dave

Regarding tire wear on the Avons, surely driving style will effect longevity, but I find 15,000 miles a bit optimistic for the "average" cobra driver. I will be mounting my 4th set very soon. I have averaged about 7,000 to 8,000 miles per set. I have an enthusiastic driving style. I will also usually make a couple of trips to the track and a few passes at the drag strip on each set. Fantastic 15" tire. If you have a high powered cobra there is nothing else you can do for $1600 that will add so much performance.
