drag radial as front tires
Was looking at tires for my camaro and was wondering if i could use mickey thompson et street radial II, front and rear on car. These tires would be use for daily driving, only in dry weather. Sizes 265/40/18 front and 305/35/19 rear. http://www.mickeythompsontires.com/s...StreetRadialII On slp corvette rims 18 x 9.5 front and 19 x 11 rear. http://image.vetteweb.com/f/tech/vem...vette_rims.jpg

I would not recommend running those on the front. look into Nitto NT01 or NT05

Good lord no!!!!!!!
A really bad idea.
Those drag radials have extremely loose side walls. I could not even stand them on the rear of my car on the street with a 555R II on the front.
Buy a proper street tire for the front and run the DR on the rear only. That is how they are designed.
If you want them to match, look a regular NT05 for the front and a DR NT05R for the rear. Tread patterns are very similar.
