I just ordered some bogarts and MT 325/50/15 DR for my 99 z28 and am looking for tires for the street/strip for my 15x4 fronts. The car is not a daily driver and will not see the rain. I do plan on driving it some on the street including 2hr one drives to the track. Whats a good tire to use? I have heard differnt things from differnt people.

I know they're a little on the heavy side, but how about some M/T Sportman fronts, the 8-ply ones? If you're going to be driving to the track with them on and cruising around on them, I'd go with a tire with a proper load rating.

I use the MT S/R radial 26.00x6.00-15. It's a 4 ply Polyester/fiberglass radial. It's rated at 990lbs @ 35psi. They weigh in only slightly heavier than the 26X7.50-15 8-ply sportsmen's (19lbs vs 20lbs). I didn't weigh them myself. Those are printed specs on them.
My car weighs in at 3850lbs street trim and 3730-50lbs race. The tires don't bulge, are stable at speed, and I haven't had any issues with them.
# Sportsman S/R Radial26'' x 6'' - 15''LT
672-6652
Tire Overall Diameter: 26.0''
Tire Tread Width: 5.7''
Tire Section Width: 6.5''
Wheel Diameter: 15''
Spec Wheel Width: 4''-5''
Tire Weight: 19.7 lbs
