Tire Question....
Has anyone ever used Cooper Cobra tires? I was putting the 81 away for the winter and realized that my Good Year Eagle GT 2 tires are from 2001!!!!! They look like new and do NOT have over 5000 miles on them. I was looking at tires and kind of like the look of the Cooper cobra tires, plus our last name is also Cooper, no relation.

My '81 has a set of Cooper Cobras on it. The previous owner put a new set on the car before he sold it. I don't have any problems with them. They seem to ride and handle well. I try not to drive in the rain so I couldn't tell you about wet traction.

Bought a 71 with a set of Cooper Cobras, the car was not driven to much with those tires. Now the coopers have terrible flat spots and need to be replaced. They are not usable even though they look brand new. We'll be spending the $600 and getting the BFG.
