I did not buy a race type tire for the front of mine since I drive it on the street alot I bought a tire for the street driving that will go down the track now and then and not a race tire for racing that would see street time. I gotta go out in the garage and look to be sure but I believe they are 215/75-15's. Since I use a radial slick in the back the car handles great on the street or track. The front Torque Thrust are 15 x 6 wheels. Ron Last edited by 383man; 03/28/14 01:43 AM.

I think M/T has a 26" tall S/R radial front...they do not have anything taller than that in a radial skinny.

They are about 26" tall but just a little wider than you spec'd. They are a D rated capacity tire rated to 65lbs air pressure. I run them and they hold the front of the car real well. A very good choice for $108, I think. Master, again and still

All these tires are s speed rated so that's only good to 112mph. The speed rating on the tire is for "SUSTAINED" speeds over a long period of time. Running over the rated speed for a few seconds, in my humble opinion, isn't going to hurt the tire unless there is some physical damage already done to the tire. This is why you should check over the car before driving it. 4 speed street legal. Best time 10.99 @ 124 mph on 93 octane pump gas @ 3926# total weight

Those tires were designed for lighter cars, sustained speeds or not. I am an idiot for ever running them for one season, which is why they came off very soon after so obviously you know my opinion

They are a good tire but I don't know if they come in a size as small as you are looking for. I like to get a front tire as close to as tall as the rear as possible. I think it help weight transfer and it does help with ground clearance. Last edited by DodgeCharger; 03/28/14 06:34 PM.

The work just fine and are ok in a light rain if you are respectful and have the brake proportion set up correctly.

Also that was after I rebuild the front end, etc. I currently have the M&H's on a 3.5" rim but have been keeping an eye out for a set of 4" Prostars for the front.

Kind of looks a Sportsman front but it's a radial. I think they have a decent speed rating. About $115 each, not a bad price. A cheaper alternative to a Michelin XZX. http://www.cokertire.com/165hr15-vredestein-sprint-blackwall-tire.html '71 Duster '17 Ram 1500

I did learn that I shouldn't have put them on, seeing how the rears won't be hooking with the Street radials on the back and a stick. 1969 Dart GTS 340 1969 Super Bee X9 N-96 1969 Coronet R/T X9 N-96 2015 Dodge Dart GT 2019 Ram 2500 Big Horn. Looking for the original block for my Bee. The last 4 are 7449
