What's with these 'Damn" Cobra tires?? Build/restore a muscle car, spend thousands on NOS parts and then put a cheap set of tires on it?
Did BFG go out of business?

As I look out in my garage and see tires that have aged out with minimal tread worn on my driver cars, I wonder why I would spend extra? Its not like BFGs grip better at the track, and I have put on more than 100k on a set of BFGs on my pickup and they still had more left but milage isnt the case with my Chevelles
