Default BFG Drag radials front and rear

Anybody use BFG Drag radials on the front of their car? I was told they are a maximum grip tire and should work well. That is provided you don't drive in the rain or in freezing temperatures. I live in South Louisiana, and my car is not a daily driver, so you think its a good idea?

good grip ... yes, but they are NOT to be used on the front becasue they are drag tires which are horrible at cornering

If what you want is drag racing tires, you're better off with those in the back. I'd get some skinnies for the front

To be honest I just like things to match, and could not find a matching tire for the BFG's.

Thanks for the responses. I went with drag radials in the rear and kdw's in the front.
