Smile Bias ply skinnies w/dr rear?

who's running bias ply skinnies front with drag radials on the rear? getting some mixed advice, some say yay, some say nay, I run 125 mph plus at the end of the 1/4, usually run 275/40/17 radials on the back, have a good deal pending on some front skinnies with bias ply tires....
the way I understand it, bias skinnies front / radial rear is OK but not the other way around....
Thanks for the answers!

You realize how many guys run ET Streets or Slicks at the track with regular radial fronts ?

I use to run McCreary's rear (bias ply) and radial fronts on the street or track....track was fine...on the street the rear like to wonder a little.

I agree, I used radial fronts with Bias ply rears, it's just like driving without a front sway bar a person needs to know the cars limits. 20 years ago we didn't have a choice no one made a sticky radial. If a person wanted traction it was on a slick.
