Ok. After turning my goodyear F1's into a soft rubber goo and leaving it all over the track, I started looking into a more affordable solution. This is what I have found.

Hoosier P335/35ZR17 R3S03 $75.00 each

Goodyear Eagle #1's race slicks 27.5 x 12.0 15" (Nascar 03 surplus) $49.00 each

What do you guys think for my 04 Cobra? I have 275/40ZR17's now. The slicks on a 15" rim have a much higher side wall but I guess they work for nascar.

Thanks

Chris

Those slicks are probably going to be an issue, as they're about 2-3" taller than the Hoosiers / F1's. They're also very unforgiving tires. I definitely suggest the Hoosiers, and at that price, you should buy at least 20 of them

That's a used price, I'm guessing?

Man, I didn't wait long enough, cause that's a lot cheaper than I bought them for
