Default who makes the lightest front runner tire?

I bought a set of billet specialties and they have 26x7.50 mickey t sportsman's and the front tires and wheels are heavier than the back lol got to be a lighter and probably skinnier front tire out there

Moroso DS2's are very light. So are Hoosier's front runners.

Moroso DS2s are 12lbs per the site that rhymes with 'pegs'.

Go with the hoosiers!

Be careful running the lightweight hoosier fronts on the street, theyre very thin and will wear out fast. I plan on getting a track only (basically only..to and from the track street only) setup for my car and wanna run these as well. Definitely a good weight reducer!
