Default Help me decide tires for the front

On the back I will be running Weld pro stars..15x10 with 7.5" BS w/ Mickey Thompson 275/60R15 ET Street Radial.

Now on to the front, I'm going to use Race Star 15x3.75 with 1.5” BS.
What front tires should I run to look right with this set-up ?

M/T sportsman 26x7.5x15's OR M/T 26.0/4.5-15 ET Front


My car is not a d/d but does see some street use but only goes fast straight. I don't take corners, hell I don't even have a front sway bar anymore. The car see's more track time then street. I just want to make sure what front runner tire is going to look the best with the back set-up for when it does hit the street. Thanks!

Also I see the M/T 275/60R15 ET Street's are available in a 26" and 28" size. Which would be better for me to use ?

if your car is over 3000lbs than go with the 8 ply. they are heavier but are more stable for heavier cars. I had both on my car and the 8 ply are def. more street friendly for the weekend warrior. As for tires it depends on your gearing.
