Default Bogarts "Tire question"???

I just got the bogarts for my truck they are 15"s all around so who ever want to get them I already test fit them and I had no problem, no grinding to be done. Altough I have a small backspacing since I'll be narrowing the rearend.

Now what I need help on is on what tires to get? I was already going to order the et fronts but a guy told me I needed the sportman tires which I don't like the thread on them. So would it be safe to go with the et fronts if its only for drag race and a lil street driving, no highway use?

Are you running a spool? If so don't ever get caught in the rain with slicks or even DR's with skinny's in the front. You will end up in a ditch. Another thing with the ET fronts is they don't take corners too well..lol

Yeah I know they don't handle any good on wet road, the one think I want to make sure if the fronts will handle the weight?

Thanks for the tip on the cornering I didn't thought about that.

I really don't think the ET fronts could handle that much weight. I'm goin to get the Sportsmans for the front, because of that same reason.

Not yet but I'm working on it, on the back I'm gettin a 14 bolt and narrowed so I'll get custom axles with the 5 bolt pattern, I'll just need to plug and redrill the rotor and for the front it will be the same plug and redrill the hub and rotor, the guy who is doing this told me that welding the holes is not as good as plugin them which I still have to see this. When I'm done doing this I post it up.
