Front skinnies with drag radials?
Pros/cons?
Or should skinnies ONLY be used with slicks or ET Streets?

I wouldn't do it Ellis--you may crash on the big end mixing bias-ply/radials... JMHO

I hear ya guys, I was just curious as to if there were any rules etc...
I did 12 runs on Sat, all between 12.0-12.1 @ 111 MPH, and the car was straight as an arrow the entire way...... Even at the top end...
Thats why I made the post... Just to find out what everyone thought, because the car "felt" lighter, but remained VERY stable...
Interesting......

Never had any problems with the radial skinnies ( 15") and 16" ET streets.

I've been running radials skinnies on the front and ET streets on the back without much trouble.
