deffinateley need to run bias ply front with bias rear just for the feel of the car. Some people run radial in front and it doesn;t bother them but for me it was annoying. The rear of the car would wash out in every turn. just my opinion.

The sportsmans will be fine. I just went on drag week with ET streets and the 8 ply sportsmans. It felt very stable as long as you have enough pressure in the et streets. I ran around 20 in mine. 28x12.50x15

I had ET fronts and switched to Sportsman fronts with QTPs out back. The car felt much better all around
