Anyone running radial front runners on their door car?

I've been running radial slicks for about 15 years & decided my next set of front runners would be the same.

Do you think radial fronts could be used with bias rears?

As long as you run radials rear..
Mixing could be an issue.
Radials don’t give, bias doo, be interesting to see some input here.

Many running rear radials are using bias fronts that work properly being mixed, just saying.

I used to run bias fronts and rears, for several years now I have run radial fronts and bias rears, I have seen no difference except I get a lot more life out of the radial fronts.

Thanks Scott!

I've been running mixed since switching to radials with no issues. I'm assuming there will be no issues with running radials up front. The only thing I have read is some people not liking them coming down from a wheelie, no reason(s) given.

M & M,

I think we are fine with mixing because we are running straight a line. I think it might be an issue for the knuckle heads over driving their race vehicles. Maybe someone will chime in on your question of radials in front/bias rear. OOPS, I forgot they did qtrrcr!

BKIng ,
those are new but way out of my price range ! Especially when converted to Aussie peso .
I am a ways slower than you so run a 185R15 street radial , have done for years .
As those MT are LT I dont see a speed rating , yes we dont maintain a high speed but something to think of . Hope they are better than some of the other MT front radials I have seen .

That's a good catch Tex! I will contact M/T before purchasing.

I emailed M/T today about the tire in the OP & gave them the part #. I explained my cars weight & the MPH it runs. Below is the response, take it for what it is!

"None of our drag tires, including the fronts, are going to have a speed rating due to their intended use. In the ¼ mile it is whatever speed you can throw at them, for normal driving they are tested up to 80mph for sustained speeds."
