front tires

[AdamR]

I just ordered some Hoosier Quick times for the rear of my car. Next I need to order front tires. Since they are bias ply do I need to run bias plys up front also ? Hoosier does make a matching front tire but they are pricey at $125ea.

But if its a major risk mixing bias and radials I sappose my life is worth more then the $100 Id save if I bought the radials

believe me gfet the bias ply fronts, mixing radials and bias plys makes the car feel like total crap....

The bias plys have cool white letters also.

sorry to hight jack your post Adam but what size are u lookin at?also whats a safe tire for the front?the smallest u can get away with on the freeway my dad has two front centerlines with 165's on them i was going to use the rims with a 175 tire what do u think of this is it safe or what the rears are going to be 255's BFGs im thinkin the front will be the same make as well ! :scratch:

Mike I just felt alittle safer with some tread.

it will handle bad enough with bias tires without mixing them with radials.

I went with skinny front runner's for the look. I got the Mickey Sportsmans that are eight ply. My car handles pretty nice actually!

Ive been told these hook really well for a full treaded tire and summit was out of drag radials in the size I wanted.
