AC Cobra
AC Cobra Tyres
- The best tyres for a standard AC Cobra would be a 185VR15 PIRELLI CINTURATO ™ CA67. It is a perfectly high performance period tyre that can handle the power and give progressive handling.
- The best low profile AC Cobra tyres would be 205/70WR15 PIRELLI CINTURATO ™ CN12 or 215/70VR15 PIRELLI CINTURATO ™ CN12 on the front and the 255/60VR15 CINTURATO ™ CN12 on the rear. After all this is what the Lamborghini Miura fitted to it's SV models.
However today a large portion of the Cobra's out there have over sized rims and extremely powerful engines, which makes people want to fit wider rear tyres. Until recently this need has been satisfied by the wide range of tall side wall road race tyres the Avon CR6ZZ, which are excellent and offer an range of options dependent on rim size. However these are not really ideal as road tyres.
