what type of tyres are eg. mickey thompson 'littlies' for the front.
i might be way off - but i just remember drag racing
friends saying that the rears and fronts should match for what-ever
reason.
i'm sure blokes slap on slicks for the rears and leave radials on the
front............. whatever makes you happy.
is anyone on the list a serious drag racer - maybe can shed some light
on us amateurs.

>Think about it sensibly. All slicks are designed to offer their
peak performance at higher operating temperatures than street radials are,
hence the traditional warmup burnout. If you ran slicks on the front, they
will not be in their operating temperature range and therefore offer bugger
all grip, but a street radial will be, and will perform well by comparison.
