I have a 2002 Cobra and I'm looking for tires that will last longer than the BF Goodrich soft compound tires. I have a 4.10 gear in it but I'm not one for laying rubber. Just daily driving finishes off a set of rear tires in less that 10k miles. I don't race the car and rarely exceed 100 MPH. Any suggestions?

Consumer Reports rates lots of different tires and they have a category on thread life. If you subscribe, you can go on-line and see all their ratings on these type of tires:

2002 Cobra??? I am a lil confused by your post unless it was a posting error. They didn't make a 2002 Cobra in the USA. If they still call the Canadian Mustangs Cobra's perhaps but then wouldn't you mention kilometers vs miles?
Right you are. It's a 2001 model. BTW, Canadian Mustangs have never been called Cobras.
Look at the BFG KDW. Good all around tire, good traction. Don't last long on my car, but I love the smell of burning rubber.
Cobra and I'm looking for tires that will last longer
Thanks Tom, How is that tire on acceleration? I'd still like to have a useable 1st gear. As you know, these Cobras are prone to wheel hop.

Yes in fact at one time they were called Cobra's in Canada. I know for sure during the 80's, not sure how long they continued using the name though.

I live in Canada, and Mustangs have never been called Cobras unless they were Cobras.
No, that's not right. They were called Cobras. I had one. An '89. You can still buy the Canadian Cobra stickers. Identical to the GT, just a Cobra decal on the trunk.

Then you either have not been there long enough or you didn't pay attention at the time.
Probably a gesture by Ford to make you feel better about paying that high Canadian mark up.
I am pretty sure it was to keep the name alive. The use it or lose it theory.
Nick :)
It's more then a theory.
