15” limited choices: Cooper Cobra vs Mastercraft Avenger vs BFG Radial T/A vs ?

I run 215/65R15 Mastercraft Avenger GT's on all four corners. They are mounted on 15x7s. I have no complaints. They drive and handle well. I think they look just as good as the BFG's. I guess if I had a complaint it would be that the specific size I run is getting harder to find.

Those look great and the wheels are sharp too.

Nothing wrong with Avengers, Radial T/A, Cobra, etc...and while they’re better than any street tire that hotrodders had to work with back in the 70s, make no mistake: these are all season tires made from compounds that are compromised for a broad temperature range and long wear, and they have treads designed to handle rain and even a bit of snow if necessary. All good things for cars that people rely on every day to get to work...

If you want optimal performance, these tires are a weak link for all of us who love their 15” wheels. It’s like showing up for the 100m sprint at the track meet wearing sensible loafers.
