I went with the Coopers recently. No doubt they ride better than the 8 year old BFG’s they replaced. Here’s hoping the letters stay white and that the aggressive tread isn’t to noisy over time. I considered going blackwall but just couldn’t do it. I will admit that the much lower price of the Coopers vs the BFG’s helped sway me.

X2 on the Cobra G/T’s. I have a set on my LeMans that were manufactured Dec ‘20. They ride very nice and the letters are staying white. Boy they look good with Verdoro Green too, haha

I have a friend out in GA who owns 6 very cool cars. He was a staunch advocate of BFG TA’s but has had nothing but complaints of late and has switched to Cobras.

Back in the day I really liked the Dunlop G/T Qualifiers, something about the close, tight tread design gave them a very unique, deep “bark” when you chirped or smoked the tires. The ones I’ve seen lately are a completely different tread and sidewall design from the Qualifiers of the 70’s-80’s. Alas.

About Us

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
