AFAIK, the Moroso DS/2 is the lightest...

I run M/T ET Fronts. They need to be replaced soon, as they're pretty much worn out now.

If you're considering running these on the street, they won't last very long at all, so beware. They are not intended for street use whatsoever.

nah, this is a track only car. Anyone run the goodyears? They look a little better than the moroso's (tread wise). The moroso's look like the tire on my wheel barrel

Moroso's also look like a air plane tire, if that tread design is good enough to land a 747 on then its good enough to land the front of my car on. I run the moroso's they are a great tire.

As far as looks, I like the ET Fronts along with M/T slicks on the rear...

The Goodyear's look pretty cool too. I agree, the Moroso's do look a little funny . <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

Air21,

I just weighted them tonight. 22lbs! That is mounted on Weld Prostars and the tires are Goodyear front runners 26x4.5x15s. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

anyone find a light frontrunner that can be driven on the street? Changing all four tires at the track seems like a pain to me.

I have heard that the ET 8 ply radial fronts run around 29 pounds each (on bogarts too). That means that those 22 pound goodyears will save about 14 pounds, but I dont think they are streetable are they? anyone else weight their frontrunners?

Goodyear front runners are not streetable. They say right on the tire not for highway use. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />
