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.

Cooper Reviews

Dry traction stands out as a top strength, earning frequent 9-10 ratings for confident grip and responsive handling on classic vehicles. Wet traction also impresses, with most scores in the 8-10 range, though a few note slightly reduced performance in heavy rain. Treadwear receives positive feedback (8-9 range), though many acknowledge it’s less critical for classic cars that see limited mileage.

...These Coopers are a step up in that department and are great all around.

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.

...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.

...THEY ARE FINE ON DRY PAVEMENT THOUGH...

i PURCHASED THESE TIRES MAILY FOR LOOKS WITH RAISED WHITE LETTERS. I DRVE A 1985 ELCAMINO V8 MOSTLY AROUND TOWN. I KNOW THE TRUCK/CAR IS LITE IN THE REAR BUT THESE TIRES MAKE IT LITERALLY SCARY IN THE WET, YOU HAVE TO BE CAREFUL WHEN ACCELERATING AROUND CORNERS IN THE WET BECAUSE THE REAR WANTS TO COME AROUND. MY PREVIOUS TIRES WERE TOYO PROXES AND THEY DID NOT EXIBIT THESE CAHARCTERISTICS. THEY ARE FINE ON DRY PAVEMENT THOUGH. WOULD NOT RECOMMEND.
