Anyone running radial front runner with bias ply slick? I ordered set of MT 28/10.5-15 stiff walls and all ready have a set of MH 185/55r17 or do I need bias ply skinnies? Thanks for your input

You will be fine, I drove my car with a 26x10-15 ET Drag slick for almost a year before I auto swapped and went back to a drag radial

Some people don't seem to have a problem but my car got pretty scary at the top end when I ran bias ply on the back on radials up front.

This is the very reason you should not mix them.

I used to run GTO spares with M&H radials, but after my two local tracks banned those rims I bought a pair of Racestars.
