What tires do you guys reccomend for front runners? I dont want to spend a lot but still want to get a decent tire.

I just bought a set of the Kuhmo star758's, I think they were only 50$ a pop, 165/80/15's
They are about 25.5" tall and seem like a good tire, I have not got them mounted up yet, but for the money they seem OK, if you are runnign serious MPH< though go for the real front runners.

If you're running slicks (bias-ply tire), do not run a radial up front. Spend a few extra dollars on a proper front tire.

I have been running this exact tire on my 15 x 4's in the front for over 4 years on 2 different vehicles and never had a problem. They are well priced and last a decent amount of time.

i just put my rims and tires on they r jegs prostars 15x4 with m.t sportsman tire 26x7.5 and hit caliper so i put a pair of 5/16 spacers on them and for some reason they hit my fender when i trying to right ,, is these because i have the car in air with no load on springs and control arms?
