I just got my 15x4 and 15x10 (3.5" BS) RT-S's in and Im trying to select tires. I bought some cheap VW radials for the front and was wanting to know everyone's experience with running a skinny radial and an ET Street out back.

Its an M6 currently, but Im planning an A3 or A4 swap along with a front mount this winter.. So I would really like to optimize for that. Its driven on the street mostly, but I have a spool and drag wheels so you can tell what Im geared towards.

Do I need to get rid of the radials and just buy bias ply fronts and ET Streets?
Or radials front and rear? or mix them?

Thanks guys

I would go with the radials out back ,they seem to work the best for me anyways,I have tried both radial and bias ply and the car feels better with the radials out back and seem to hook better.

Once you do the A4/turbo swap, a radial will serve you better. But to answer your question I run a 28x12.50 bias et street and radial skinny fronts. The back end wanders a little bit every once in awhile, but works fine and you get used to it quick.

Thanks for the input guys.. I was act kind of thinking I'll do both bias ply on these, bc I want to get a full set of 17"rt-s for the street.

But I prob will take you guys suggestions and run the radials. I have run 26x11.5x17 et streets with some 245 radials up front, and I did feel it walking on the big end even though it only trapped 112 on a junk tune..

11SECSS- love seeing daylight under those tires on a 10 bolt!

Nice rides guys. I'll get some pics up after tires next week, the dish on these is huge. Can't wait to get some 17x11's with this much dish.
