I wanted to go with the Pirelli P7 Classics, identical to what came on the car from the factory but they were backordered across the country for months.

15s for a Cobra are hard to find at a decent price. Avons are an excellent tire but $500 per. Mickey Thompson makes an OK tire for less than half, but they are half the tire in terms of grip.
The Goodyear Billboards were decently priced but are a bias ply and no DOT sticker and tramline horribly. Very sticky though.
Van gets summer Pirelli and Blizzaks for winter.
My commuter has BFG Comp 2 T/A which are sticky and work well if there is less than 6 inches of snow. I take the van after that.
