On my 1990 i use B.F.G. g-force sport 255/45 ZR 17 fronts
rears are B.F.G. g-force T/A Drag Radial 315/35 R 17.
When i go to the drag strip i put on the Hoosier Pro Street (26 x 7.5 17 LT )
radial mounted on a set of org 1990 17 x 9.5 that are narrowed to 6 inches,
(17 x 6).

what's the reason for running a smaller tire upfront?

Smaller tire up front means lower weight (42 lbs small tire, 51 lbs stock rim and tire. Also offers lower rolling resistance while drag racing. The Pro Street tires
are good for up to 134 mph. I only run 11.82 @ 119.76 with 60 ft. time of 1.74 to 1.84. If i take a trip longer then say 80 miles i put the stock rim and tire set on my car. hope this helps.

You only run 11.82? Pretty good. I went for the first time to the track and ran 13.04 @ 116. Guess I need to practice!

Goodyear Eagle F1 GS-D3s because I like the way they handle. I also like the looks.

This is my 3rd set of Vredesteins. I bought two sets for my old supercharged c5 coupe and now for my zr1. Simply a great tire. quiet, smooth excellent traction and wear and at a great price. They have a wild tread pattern but a seriously well made Dutch tire. Cant be beat.
