SNOW, RAIN, DRY, TREADWEAR, PRICE.

BALANCING WAS DIFFICULT.

Living in MA presents all kinds of driving - deep snow, flooding rain, extreme heat, extreme cold.

My Mustang is light and quick, and I drive it year round, no kidding. I have 3:73 gears, posi diff and 5 spd trans.

I've driven on Cooper Cobras, Cooper LifeLiners, Firestone INDYs and Dunlop Sport A2s with this car over the last 5 years.

The Cobra, hands down, is the best tire I've ever driven on. The LifeLiner is terrible. The INDY's were ok but terrible tread life. The Dunlops were ok, similar to Cobras but VERY expensive.

BUY THE COOPER COBRA GT TIRE AND YOU WON'T BE DISAPPOINTED!!!

Good dry traction. Somewhat quiet.

Horrible wet traction. A NIGHTMARE

These tires were great when i got them.But we had no rain.Then when it finally did, I hydroplaned going 45mph around a 45mph rated corner slammed my car into a ditch and snapped off my back wheel completly DON'T BUY THESE TIRES!!!!!!!!!

NOTHING REALLY

Handling prowess for the cost is unbelievable. If you're FWD make sure you change your tire pressures accordingly or you may not get the best performance from them

If you're in a RWD car and you're not on a dry road, the car will probably get stuck. Offroad traction is nill, none, zero. With my tbird placed in "D" I can get out of my car to see the back wheels spinning on gravel, seemingly making no effort to actually move the car.

For the price you pay, there is no possible way to get better performance. I see many complaining about them not being grippy enough, but I am to only assume they're using the wrong tire for their car completely. There are also several different Cobra's available in different speed ratings that become increasingly grippier.

I've used these on my '89 Celica awd turbo, two '93 thunderbirds which have been modded, an '89 probe gt (only on fronts, p.o.s.'s in back), and I have to say for the cost my cars couldn't handle any better than they do now. I live in a mountainous region with lots of corners, and these tires still last an incredible 50-75,000 miles despite how much tread they've left on the ground from peeling out.

Looks, wet traction, dry traction, great smoke-show tire, long life, smooth and quiet ride, overall tight performance.

I think not.

These tires are the best all-around bang for the buck I have ever come across. I have these tires on a 1987 Monte Carlo SS. They hold the road like they're on rails, last forever, look great, are quiet, smoke nice, and are the perfect combination of hard tire performance and soft tire ride. It's all I'll put on my Monte. Can't be beat, especially for the price.

As if

The Cooper Cobra is the best tire out there. I swear that they have more tread today than 40,000 miles ago. Spins nice in the parking lot and the Raised White Letters get all the girls. JP would be so proud.

Why bother

I was given some descent reviews by people who were currenty using these tires. But, I found that when pushing them hard through turns they would slide worse than the Potenza RE92's that i had before. I have yet to try them in the rain. All in all these tires are too noisy for the LACK of traction. Great if you are someone who likes to "Drift' through turns.

they are horrible i blew the back tires off the car only going 171mph they have no traction i was all over the road before they blew off

Had these babies put on my accord when I first got them, ran them til they were bare rubber and then bought a fresh pair. Always held onto the road for me, even at about 112 mph. They do contribute some body roll tho.

They don't make a good low profile tire

If you are going for looks, these tires are disappointing. They don't have very good traction, but they aren't performance tires for sure if that's what you are looking for.

Look really good. Hug the road.

None

Kick ass tires! I use them on my 87 Ford Ranger and they stick the ground like glue. I dont carry a lot of speed but I can get on down the road and havent been let down at all. AWESOME wet traction. Superb in the dirt.
