Are Cooper Cobra's any good?

I've got 4 on my IROC at the moment and they were cheap. I do notice a degree of sidewall flexing and waswondering what the official word on these tires was?

I got a set of 16" Cooper Cobras for my camaro. Like you, I got them because the deal was too good to pass up Don't know how well they work yet, but they look pretty cool!

I guess you pays your money you takes your choice.. For the average strip and street racer I guess they are perfect, they have lasted a long time on mine already. Considering the abuse they get

I have them on my car 235/55/16's and all I can say is they are a lot better and have more grip wet and dry than the POS Goodyear GT II's that I had on it, and cheaper too.

I ran a few sets of them and got my best radial tire track times with them. They were much better than the Goodyear Gater-slides!
