snow tires again

[Rave Racer 2000]

        How does anybody feel about the Cooper Cobras?  I've had good
experiences on my Jetta, but don't have alot of experience with anything
else on that car.  The Cobras handled extremely well for the 2WD IMHO, but
this could be attributed to superioir engineering in a German auto.
However, there may be flaws in this theory, in someone elses opinion, and I
am interested in hearing a second opinion for my 87 4k Q sedan.
