Default Front runner tires, which ones?

Ok so I am looking to get some front runners for now, I'll just keep the 17" Fikse's until I decide what rears to get.

Now, I know you are not supposed to mix Bias Ply and radials on the same car. But what I want to do is EVENTUALLY run some 28x11.50 ET Street rears. If I do that, I need to run some Sportsman fronts.

But if I get some Sportsman fronts, would it be alright to OCCASIONALLY run the 15x3.5's with some Sportsman fronts while I keep my Fikses with 295/45R17's ET Street Radials on the rear?

Sure, you can do that, though handling and braking will be terrible if you're planning to use this as a street setup.

Good luck with your setup.

Thanks. I won't be running them all the time. Rarely on the street and mostly on the track, I just want to be able to run them OCCASIONALLY on the track.

Thanks for the input.
