Default 9,10,11 second trucks please come in

I need some tire help. I am going to 12" M&H Slicks on the rear and can't find a high speed bias tire for the front except in a skinny. What are you guys running on the front to go with your bias ply slicks ??
Is there a skinny rim available in 16" with 6 lug chevy bolt pat ??

My vette has changed lanes at 120+ from mixing radial and bias ply tires.

Looks great !!

Did you have to grind on the brake calipers for a 15" rim to fit or change rotor\calipers ?

I run radials on the front and have had No problems with any of the different slicks I've ran onthe back. I cross the traps at 115 mph.

Thanks for the info guys.

It may be the different track surfaces. Gainesville is an asphalt track and I only get a little wobble mixing the tires. Valdosta is a concrete track...that is the one I changed lanes at !! It must track the tires different at high speed...asphalt gives and is softer.
