Cooper Cobra G/T Radial tires feature raised white letters and 255/70R15 sizing fits on a variety of applications, including classic trucks, and it's a great size for the rear of your hot rod or muscle car.
This is a raised white letter tire, sometimes called RWL for short. Raised white letter tires became common in the late sixties on muscle cars like the Pontiac GTO and high performance pony cars, like the Ford Mustang. Raised white letter tires feature white rubber that is built into the tire's sidewall when the carcass is being assembled. The letters are formed when the tire is vulcanized in a curing mold, and then buffed clean to reveal bright white letters. Popular raised white letter tires include Firestone Wide Oval and Wide Oval Radials, BFGoodrich Radial T/A, and Goodyear Polyglas tires.
T Speed Rated: Up to 118 mph (190 km/h). Often required OE for higher performance trim level classic automobiles.
