Hi all,
I am about to get some noew rear tires, burned off the Firestone Firehawks, so I am looking at the BFG drag radials. I have 16" wheels, so I figure the 255 50 16s are my best choice considering that the Nittos only come in the 245 in 16" size. My question is what tire to run on the front so the handling is ok. The Firestones handled quite nicely, and I like taking the ramps pretty hard, so how wacky will the handling be with different tires front and rear? Has anyone actually run the drag radials on all 4 corners? Sounds kinda dumb, but I figure I could rotate them, and if they are sticky in a straight line, perhaps they would handle pretty well, or at least be stable. Any opinions? thanks,
Bob Dawson
