Lightbulb Just lookin for some skinny suggestions before I hit the track

I'm finally gonna hit the track in a few months and want to run skinnies in the front. What are most of you guys running in the front. I went to the Mickey Thompson web site and it looks like they may have some skinnies I can use there. I'm just not sure if everyone is gonna go, " dude, don't use those, just use these, they are the most popular" LOL, thanks guys.

If you're looking for the best reduction of rotating mass, most people seem to say that the Moroso DS-2 will be the best tire for that.

Did some more looking, the original Moroso Drag Special and M/T ET Front apparently weigh about the same. I will be putting one of those on my Draglites.

These are really track only tires. Not DD, I run the M/T ET Fronts.

Just a 165r15 is all i got. Now that's for a muscle car ,but the 165 means it's 165 mm wide. Basically it's volkswagon tire. Mine were CENTRON tires and I think they cost me like $110 mounted and balanced,that's for both.

Yeah, they'll be only for the track. I'm still using stock 16 X 8 wheels for the street.

The Sportsmans? That's probably what I would get if I was driving around on the street with them. But since I'm not, I can use a lighter track-only bias ply skinny.
