The tires on my 99 Cobra are shot and I could use some help choosing new ones. I was able to squeeze almost 3 years out of my Goodyear ZR45's, but I am looking for something new. My Eagles kicked ass in the sun and weren't too bad in the rain, but I would be willing to give up some of that dry traction for improved wet weather traction - especially in winter weather. I also wouldn't mind something that likes a little less air pressure so I can get a softer ride.
The tire guy recommended sSumitomo HTR+'s, claiming they are cheaper and better than the Eagles. I thought Sumo's were for the Tuner guys. Can these tires actually run, or do they just look cool? Has anyone tried them on a 'Stang?
What about BF Goodrich? Weren't Comp T/A's the original tires on the 99 Cobra? I heard that Comp T/A's were discontinued and replaced with Traction T/A's. Is that correct? Anyone tried them?
Thanks for your help!
