From what I understand you dont want to drive mt front runners on the street. I think the tire is more prone to puncture, but I'm not sure. At the track there is nothing wrong with this setup.

BTW, For over a year I've driven around daily on metric radial VW sized tires and nittos.

Same as Mike said above. Good for track use only. Look for other alternative for weight savings on front that is light but safe for street duty. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

You can buy light wheels from summitracing.com for rear or front. I just got convo pros for rear which require no grinding to rear calipers. There are several brands of wheels. Check with friends and forum for a wheel that suits you. For the rear my size was 15 by 8 and 1/2 fitted with a MT slick size 26 by 10-15. Hopes this helps.
