Default Drag radials

For you guys who run drag radials on the back, what do you run on the front to match?

If you want them to match Nitto makes a NT555R (drag radial) and a NT555 (street tire) which has the same tread pattern. My buddy runs them on his '98 Cobra and he is very happy with them. They look really good too. I'm actually gonna get the same set up as soon as I burn (I mean wear....HEHE) my current tires out.

I run 555s in a 275 up front and 555Rs in a 305 in the back. Great combo, looks nice as stated, rides well, and the 555Rs are a pretty good street tire as well.
