Yep, if you search the tire section several of us are trying these. Im using them on Fronts and have about 4,000 miles them and they work work great for the street.

I have them on ERA 833. About 5k miles.

My previous ERAs had BFG, Billboards and M/T STs (I think these are the same as Cooper Cobra).

The Vitours are at least equal to the BFG and M/Ts. They may be better, but the passing of time makes a comparison difficult. My gut says the Vitours have slightly better traction. They are certainly speed rated higher than the others.

I would never have Billboards on a streetcar, so that comparison is easy. Vitour wins.

I will buy Vitour again for my Cobra when the time comes.

John, I was looking for 295's on their site and could not find any. What size are you using in the rear?
