anyone have a set of m/t sportmans front 26x7.50x15 ?? and do you drive it on the street ?? im thinking about a set for the front of my car with some 26x11.5x15 hooiser quick time pro's... i drive mine mostly on the street ... 75% street and 25% drag strip....

what's the widest rim to be running them on ? i belive i have 15x7 up front at the moment with 235/60/15 bfg's UHG! lol...

or will i be ok to just be driving around with the hoosiers out back and the BFG's up front yet ??

Best not to mix belted radials and bias ply tires it will drive funny.

thats kinda what i have heard... but what would be a tire that i can run with the hoosier qtp's ??

would the bfg be ok or no ??

also i usually run just m/t et drags for the strip, with the bfg up front and i have even drove on the street with the slicks out back and bfg up front...

I run the m/t sportman 26x7.50x15 on a 15x4 centerline. Never had a problem on the street. I never "laid into" a corner with them but under normal driving, They worked great.
