The Cobra Radial G/T is Cooper's Performance All-Season tire developed to combine responsive handling and comfortable operation with all-season capabilities for the drivers of muscle cars, kit cars, light trucks and street rods looking for white-lettered performance tires. Blackwall and white-letter versions of the Cobra Radial G/T feature a stylized, Cobra Design Sidewall on the reverse side, allowing drivers to choose between the traditional, block-letter styling or the aggressive cobra design. The Cobra Radial G/T is designed to provide a smooth, quiet ride and year-round traction in dry, wet and wintry conditions, even in light snow.

The Cobra Radial G/T features classic looks and modern performance. Utilizing an optimized, all-season compound, the tread pattern is designed with a specific focus on void ratio to maximize rubber-to-road contact for handling performance. The notched, continuous center rib provides solid on-center feel, and the tread element shape focuses on resisting uneven wear while delivering confident traction. Wide, circumferential grooves and open shoulder slots efficiently evacuate water from the footprint to resist hydroplaning, and the tire's independent tread blocks create multiple biting edges to improve all-season traction and provide year-round capability.

Internal construction of the Cobra Radial G/T consists of two low-stretch polyester casing plies to balance handling response with ride comfort, and two high-strength steel belts support the tread for stability.

...wet traction, like any one legger diff means a spin off the line but the rest performs great...

Ever since I bought my s10, these are the only tires it sees. Daily commuting is a treat. Running down the curvy back roads, if you could forget about the weight of the truck, those tires punch well above their class. hauling firewood, they take the road perfectly. wet traction, like any one legger diff means a spin off the line but the rest performs great. So much so that I've gotten a set for my 66' El Camino. of course, the raised white lettering has to be on the visible side and unlike the FAR MORE EXPENSIVE BF Goodrich's, these don't discolor over time. not to mention, $100 cheaper a tire vs the latter.

...Wet traction is well implemented, and I never felt like the vehicle needed more grip for the circumstances...

Classic style with modern performance.

The ride seems athletic, yet well refined. Even when pushing this tire to its limits, the traction break away is smooth, and predictable. Wet traction is well implemented, and I never felt like the vehicle needed more grip for the circumstances. This tire feels comfortable with a low tire hum that fades into the background, and the hum never seemed intrusive. It absorbs bumps well, and does not loose composure when jostled like some other tires in the category.

I've run BFG Radial TAs forever, but they lacked performance in the wet. These Coopers are a step up in that department and are great all around.

...Being that this set is on a 1972 Cutlass Convertible, I do mostly cruising around back roads, and the ride is comfortable.
