Another question - should I get bias-ply MT 26x4.5 for fronts, or just use cheap radial tires? For strip only (and to get to and from track)
I remember reading that MT fronts are a good bit heavier than some radial 165's

OK, just had to look at MT specs

MT Sportsman 26x7.5 (8-ply) are 19lbs
MT ET Fronts 26x4.5 - 12lbs
Kumho 165/80 according to ebay sellers - 16lbs
