Love my Avons but...

Contact Mickey Thompson and ask they make their ST line up softer. It never made sense to me why the BFG, MT's, Coopers, etc are all a rock hard compound when they know the tire is predominately for muscle cars. I don't need a 440 tread rating and a tire that lasts 35000 miles when I hardly put 2000 miles a year on the car.

I have Michelin Pilot Sport PS2's in 275/40-17 Front & 335/35-17 Rear.

I did not purchase them as the previous owner installed them. I've only had the Car for a week and I of course like most us want the "Billboard Look" but it's not going to happen on the particular Cobra as the large brakes limit going down to a 15" wheel.

The roads here in So. Cal are probably some of the worst in the country so as far as tracking with these Michelin's it's not too bad at all unless there's a huge seam on the fwy of which just about any car would be subject to tracking.
Also these tires have not thrown much if any up onto the fenders and seem to stick very well so far as with my short time behind the wheel.
Ahh but there will be many hours of seat time coming soon.

I have the same tires on my Cobra. They do stick well but the traction in the first 2 gears is non existent. I use first and second to get the rpms up but don't dare use full throttle unless I want to see the back end to change places with the front of the car ;i.e. turn the car in a circle.
Also the tires are like hockey pucks at any temperature below 60 degrees.😜
