Default ET Front or DS-2 Front Runner Question

I am looking for tires for weld 15x3.5's The tires will not see any street use, just the occasional track visits. Out back I am running 255-50-16's on Stock snowflakes. Will 26 x 4.5's work upfront? Seems that is the tire everyone runs.

Since I wont really be running on the street, I don't think I need the sportsmans, so I was looking at ET Fronts and Moroso DS2's Are both about the same quality performance?

The DS2 is the quicker tire, but we are talking a few 1000ths in the 1/4 so I would go with the one with the best price.

26" is the standard size most go with. I went a little bigger 27.5" to get my roll-out right, I ran 26" for the longest time and it keeps the car nice and level with plenty of clearance.

Like TXCAMSS said, the DS-2 is the better of the two and is actually cheaper. And 26x4.5x15 is what I run and majority of the people on here.
