I just put new Kumos on my Cobra, my old Coopers were way better. The sidewalls are weak and seem to roll over when I corner hard. Kumos suck, anyone want to buy them?

yeah, those stupid brakes... hate them  lol
I never thought of doing 16s... thats a damn good idea. I just automatically figure v6 wheels as being 15's.

15s won't even clear the rear brakes?
There's no need to swap out the fronts. |
