Cooper Cobra Radial GT vs Goodrich Radial T/A

[CRW-FK5]

I am planning to replace my old B.F. Goodrich Radial T/A's and wondered if anyone had any experience with Cooper Cobra Radial GT tire (appearance and performance standpoint).  They are very similar but cheaper tires.  Thanks.

Ran both of them on mine. Equal tires. Cheap and makes lots of smoke.

Now that's a product review!

Love MY CC's..... handle just as good as the TA's, IMHO.

And a plus, cheaper.

Thanks.  Any notable differences in the profiles between the two?  In other words, is the Cooper any more rounded than the BF, from end view?

The only negative thing I have to say about my Cooper Cobra's is they have worn out faster than any other brand I have used.

I just made the swap. The CC have their lettering just a bit sharper, meaning the letters have sharper edges on them than the BFGs. Tread pattern is different. But I really can't tell a difference as far as drivability yet.

The white letters won't turn a yellowish/brown like the TA Radials.  The BF Goodrich tires I've owned all seemed to do this.  It is not dirt, but an actual discoloration of the letters from the inside out.  Other than that I would say no better or worse.

Size to size they are identical. Neither held my car so i would burn them on command but when i wanted traction i had slicks.... their sole purpose was for a street driver tire and they performed their duty as expected.

Will either hold the car, hell no, not even close. But they were not made as a race tire.

Thanks for the feedback.  I'm going with the CC's.

the cc's have a more curved edge profile than the flat/square edged bfg so the cc/s fit under the guards nicer

This is very frustrating.   I'm going to the Coopers next time just because of this.

Not all bfg's turn yellow... my front 235's are still bright white, the rear 275's were yellowish since new
