Cooper Cobra tires

I just had a set of 255/70R15 tires put on my '70 F100. All I can say is.. wow. They stick like glue. Handling (I know it's a truck, but still) improved significantly. They're nice and quiet also.

The old tires I had were 265/75R15 Goodyear Wrangler's. They'd spin through first and most of second gears. The new ones just give a little chirp from first to second (I've got a shift kit). This is behind a 400+ horsepower FE 390.

Thought I'd share the good news.

Rusty, Cooper Tire Company, based in Findlay, OH., has made great tires up and down their passenger car, and light truck tire catalogs, since the early 60s. I would never hesitate to use Cooper Tires, then and now. Ed
