Default Weld Racing rims question
I'm getting Weld RTS 15" rims hopefully soon. My questions is can I drive on 15x4 on the street often or has anyone have any idea on how long M/T front runners would last on the street?

Yes you can drive with them on the street as a weekend warrior or a nice day car. As far as how many miles I'm unsure. I never drove my car enough to wear them out.

Depends on what Mickey Thompson front tire you are asking about.

Well any front tire because when I get enough money saved up I'm taking it to Midwest Chassis to get the complete suspension done and its a 90/10 street/strip weekend and nice days only vehicle so I didn't know if it's ok since you can only fit a max of 5" rim width on your spindles.

I would maybe look at the Mickey Thompson sportsman front its a little more street friendly you should be able to get some decent life out of them.

Just keep in mind, that Braking and Turning (curves) will be affected by running smaller/thinner tires. Both of which will greatly affect tread life as well.

Yeah I know, but I mostly do like five mile drives and the only time I turn is the on ramp and off ramp lol so I don't think the sharp cornering would be a problem, I hope.
