Default Deathwish?

I'm going to soon have a set of zr-1s 17x9.5 and 17x11.

My question is: Can I continue to run the continentals that I have on my stock rims (275s practically brand new) in the front and put Nitto Drag Radials in the rear or will this cause crazy understeer?

Or do I need to put another set of regular street tires in the rear(in 315s of course )

Would you guys even recommend taking a tire off one rim and putting it on another ?

Thanks

Relax, your front tires can be used with the Nitto drag radials and your handling will change so little you won't be able to tell any difference. Any reputable tire shop can can tires from one rim to another without damaging either the tire or the rims. It sounds like you'll have a nice looking setup that you can be proud of........
