my car doesn't weigh as much as yours ..I use BFG's Comp T/A's in 215/60x15 and Drag T/A's in rear 275/60x15
handles like on rails and great traction on the street....never had good luck w/Drag T/A's on track, but the fronts are great
this will give you an idea on the fronts..
its really hard to see the tires with the headlights in the way.

I run 165 80 r15s on my 65 Belvedere with Mickey n50 bias rear.My kid runs 215 75 r15s on the 62 300 with Mickey L60 15s bias rears.Never any problems with either and both get lots of street and strip miles.I had Mickey bias on the fronts of both cars.They were total garbage.Even at the track they were all over the place.Now I can let the wheel go at 120 and it stays straight.Rocky

I used a 215/75/D/15 which is a bias tire that is very close to the same size as a Moroso 7.10x15.

My preference has always been the Moroso bias ply and 29+ inches tall.Out back are 16.5 X 31's.I prefer the bias all the way around.The gets driven upwards to 2000 miles a year and 4 or 5 trips to the track
