Bias Ply Frontrunner/Radial Rear?

Just bought a used CCW Drag Setup and it has Bias Ply Front Runners and Hoosier DRs, 16" all the way around. Will I have any issues? Ive always heard dont mix the two yada yada yada....

It works fine. That's what I'm running now. I believe you run into problems when you have a radial up front and a bias ply in the rear.

Ran a Metric radial skinny up front and a 26" tall ET Drag on back, no issues. Not the fastest car out there but just giving my exp on the mixing and matching.

It's one of those old myths that simply won't die.

I've mixed em both ways and can't tell a difference. Granted my car handles like **** on the street, you should be fine as long as you use your head and don't try to play road racer.
