Great picture. On my way to compare tire dimensions now. BTW I have the 275 mikey Thompson drag radials.

Looks like cooper has expanded their cobra tire line. I swear they only sold 225 and 245 back in the day. Earl says 295? Damn son!

My 295 Cobras are damn near the exact width as my old 275 radial T/A's.  The tread itself is a lot wider but the actual tire width is the same.  I'm running factory wheels that were widened and given an extra 1/4BS over stock with alum drums.  I've never verified the BS but if Jim did what I asked for the centerline of my rim should have moved outward 1/4" plus the extra 1/8" for the drums totaling 3/8" to the outside.


...just a hair under 2.5 beer can's per tire.

You might want to look at the tire rack's (or whoever lists actual dimensions) website and compare the 275's you're looking at to what you actually have now.


The really cool thing about the Cobra's is they are audible when spinning in the rain. I dove my GN to the post orifice earlier and it sounding like I was killing basset hounds running 60 while a little bit sideways.
