RE: drags????
I've got 315/35r17 nitto drag radials on the rear that i keep on all the time. Whats wierd is that i get better traction in the rain with my slicks than an all weather tire. Not sure if it's the size of the tire or what, but i havent had any problems with them. The price varies depending on the size and quality that you get. Anywhere between 150-300 per tire.

edit: Actually I think maybe if you PM blue70 on this forum, im pretty sure he has stock cobra rims with 315 nittos on. Or maybe dan04cobra would know.

You may wanna double-check with some other cobra owners..maybe over at svtperformance.com or smething. But I am 99.99% sure that you can run 315 nitto 555r's on stock 03-04 cobra rims.

RE: drags????
BS is exactly what i thought when the guy i bought the car from told me about them. I thought he was feeding me a bunch of cr@p. But supprisingly when it comes to hard cornering and quick acceleration these tires really stick.

BS... 1) larger tires just float on top of water and smaller tires cut through the water.. 2)Slicks have no grooves to disperse the water.
