Question Gettin' slicks & skinnies Need advice on size!

I've read and searched on here for a couple of weeks with no results so here's my question. What dia of slicks do I need and what dia for the fronts? Looking in jegs and summit they list a bunch of sizes for the front. Is bigger or littler better for the front. I understand that the Dia. of the rear will affect my RPM through the traps but is there a way I can calculate what size I need with my gear ratio etc. I'm getting a set of Bogarts and need to figure out what tire to run before I order my wheels. This will prety much be a dedicated track setup but I was thinking MT E/T streets just incase I need to pick on the locals on Fri. & Sat. night Mods are in sig. any advise on tires and especialy tire size will be very welcome

judging by your mods, I think you will want a 26" tall et street (probably 26" x 10.5 x 15"). For the fronts, 25"-26"

Anybody else? Also is it a good idea to run the et streets on the street or should I go with the et street radial?
