Default Question for those running Drag Radials Full-time

For those that have drag radials all the time, what tire are you running up front?

I have Michelin Pilot Sports up front and thinking about switching to the BFG g/Force KD.

Thanks.

:cheers:

I'm running pilots up front and nitto's on the rears and have no problems. I will most likely change to nitto's 555's when the pilots wearout.
