MT sportman front runners? Anybody running Sportman front runners on the street? How many miles are you getting out of them?
Currently I'm running the 165/15 radials and I think they are around 25-25.5" in dia. and the Sportmans are 26" dia. and I could use the extra .5-1" clearance
I was just wanting to know if they would be as good/reliable on the street as the 165 radials since the car is still a DD. Also since it weighs around 3250 with me in it would the 4 ply or 8 ply be better?

Thought it wasa 44 psi max?

I have the Sportsman 8-ply up front and they are not bad at all. In fact, I have driven to and from the track on several occasions (500 miles round trip) on front skinnies and drag radials out back.
