I've looked over several cars, and have come to the conclusion an awful lot of race cars out there are running either radial slicks or drag radials in the back, along with bias ply front runners.
Nobody seems to want to talk about it, but I wonder if they have any issues. Probably no (?)
Nope. Never had any problems running radials out back and bias up front, or the other way around. Never talked to anyone who has either.

I put some Moroso tires on the front in combination with my drag radial rears. I did not like the way it drove it all.

I just remembered the dc test car had radial slicks with bias front runners also, I drove it, same thing. It went straight.
How did it drive, Mark? Is it more a street driving issue?
It wasn't horrible, but wanted to wander on the street and didn't feel all that stable on the top of the track. The car drives perfect with radials all around. Maybe I'm spoiled with how well it handles.
