Default Goodyear front runners on street driving?

Heres the deal I found a cheap deal on some new goodyear front runner tires. They look mostly for drag racing only. Has anyone here had issues running these on the streets?

How much? Daily driving...no. Occasional Friday & Saturday night driving, they will be fine. Tires such as M/T ET Fronts, DS-2's and Goodyear Fronts, have a pretty thin sidewall and tread, so its easy to damage them on the street though, so I'd be careful.

My last set of ET drag fronts lasted about 2k miles.

Those bias-ply non-radial tires aren't meant for full weight cars. Go check out the full specs of that particular tire. Maybe it will be fine, but I would check to be sure.

IMO the Goodyears are the best looking front runners but they won't last no time on the street.
