Re: front skinnies Go with some metric volkswagon tires...I think mine are 185/75 R15 Metric all season radials I got at Firestone for $60 each....why 27"??? Thats a bit on the tall side. Especially if your running a 26-27 inch slick or street slick. Mine are about (I THINK) about 25" and I run a 28" slicks.
Just tell Firestone/Goodyear/Joe Schmoe's tire shop that you want some VW tires.

Re: front skinnies nah... skinnies are a necessity when ET's are on the line. Physics don't lie... Rolling resistance is a hurdle we all have to overcome, and in this case 4" is better than 9.5" (although if you ask your girlfriend, she'll strongly disagree).

Re: front skinnies Not only that, but skinnies also reduce not only the unsprung weight off the front, but a good bit of weight in general off the front, which aids the front to rear weight transfer.
