Front Runners On Street Car
Old thread, but.....
I ran Goodyear front runners on my car, cause I wanted short, light tires , on a very light car with very small wheelwell openings. I would NOT recommend them for street use on any car over about 2700 lbs.
I run either a full set of T/A radials, or 185/65x15s with bias slicks. I have never had problems with radial fronts with bias slicks.
The new car runs 165/80x15s on 15x4s, with either drag radials or bias quick times. Also, no problems with either rear tire and skinny front radials.
Just a side note: I think the guys running 17" fronts do it for big brakes clearance. I don't see much gain with skinny 17s over skinny 15s otherwise.
