What tires?

[Jenkins]

I am about to buy some Weld RTS 17 inch from beefcake. And was wandering what tire to run up front. These will be street driven a bit. Thanks.

No body knows?

M&H race masters. Really its the only option.

We offer the kit with hoosier or M and H

We have seen the M and H split the choice is yours

Your doing 17's in rear also ? 17 front 15 rear is optimal for traction as you'll have more sidewall at your disposal. IMO White letter hoosiers all the way around are win!

He said street driven. I don't know of any other front skinnie for 17x4.5 that could be managable in the rain.

You can run the Hoosier fronts on the street w/o taking crazy turns.

Now if we're talking about being unsafe in the rain. The same can be said with half the drag radials out there that are DOT approved. If you get caught in the rain get off the highway keep her below 50.

Ah those look good. I couldn't find anything other than m&H in that size. Well I will try those for sure when I need tires.

Are you running a 17X4.5 front wheel or the 17x7 front wheel? I believe you can run a regular 215 street radial with the 17x7 wheel on the street.

Thanks Eric. Considering I still don't have my Forgestars, maybe I'll just have to go straight to the Welds instead! I'd like to run a wider wheel in the front though, as I'm not sure I'd like to drive around with the narrow front. I'm trying to refrain from buying the Welds yet so I can order a Magnum T56 next with you guys! :burnout:
