I've got a 1967 Satellite that I've weighed and it weighs in at 3600 pounds with a 440 with iron heads, stock radiator, aluminum intake, manual steering, battery still in front. I don't know how much of the 3600 pounds is on the front end.

I've been using some 165/80-15 Kumho radials mounted on 15X3.5" Weld wheels as front runners. These 165/80-15s only have a load rating of 1201 pounds each. This is starting to seem like a dumb idea to me.

I've been thinking of getting some of the 8 ply Mickey Thompson frontrunner tires since they are rated at 1450 pounds each. I know a lot of people use the 165/80-15 radials as frontrunners but I'm thinking their cars' front ends are probably lighter than mine. This is for a street car that gets driven to the track a few times a year.

Any opinions? Thanks!
