What do you think of these for a daily driver front skinny tire?

I have M&H Musclecar drags on the back and am looking at this tire for the front:

Kumho Power Star 758 (All-Season)
165/80R15 25.4 400/A/B weight 17

Here is a pic




What do you think?

Those should work. I run a Pep Boys Futura on the front. They would work fine for daily driver use.

I run a Kelly 165R15. They have worked out real well for me! I use to use the futuras from Pepboys, but had two go out of round on me!
