What is the danger of running a 165 radial on front skinnies? My front runners do say not for street use, but the rears do not. Maybe there is something different in the material thickness or overall design?

Call me if you need more help. I don't read the boards all the time. Something like what you're requesting would be better suited via the phone, not e-mail, certainly not the boards.
1hotls1. We've had a few non-participating vendors suggest to use 165 radials for our wheels...(not from F-bodies). THere are the folks that we are seeing damage wheels.
I've answered the question in another post you mentioned a few seconds ago...to recap, they are generally not load rated, they are generally speed rated to 85mph, they are smaller then 26" diameter (some folks are using even down to 24.5") which effects your rollout, most importanly they are generally not rated for small skinny wheels. Stuffing on a wide tire on a skinny AND being a harder compound radial beats up skinny wheels placing a greater stress load on the bead area of the wheel.
Hope this helps
