Front tires

Looking for input on what you run for front tires. My car was bought as a roller and the front tires are too old for me to trust as it sat for about 10 years before I bought it. (72 Demon that will be 90%/10% strip/street, 10.5cr 408, auto, 8" TC, split-mono CalTracs, etc, etc.) Target for the car has been 11.20-11.50 (but 100% unproven as of yet!). Car nearing completion and hoping to make inaugural runs within a couple months but want to get some new shoes for it first. Front tires are Mickey Thompson 26x7.5-15's on ProStar wheels. I know I can buy new identical replacement tires but these are bias-ply tires. Do any of you instead use a radial tire with a similar size? If so, what do you use? I haven't yet decided on the rears. It has 28.0x10.5W-15 slicks which are bias-ply but I may end up with new bias-ply slicks or drag radials there too.
So looking for input on those front tires - thx!!!
