I am happy to have you guys as a site sponsor! Are the front runners weight rated for the heavy front ends of our trucks?

Hello,
Thank you for the welcome. Some of our front runners can handle heavy front ends of trucks. Each set up is different, thus we take it a case by case basis for the size we recommend.
Best Regards,

I'm not a drag racer, just what I have observed.
The newer trucks are running 17" wheels to clear the calipers, sooner or later they will be needing tires for them. Radials would be nice.
Like I said, just my observations.

Another vote here for a 17" tire. I've got a 2wd truck that needs sticky rubber BAD.

I have run the M&H Nostalgia slick for the past 2 seasons. Worked well in a 2wd heavy truck. I ran rim screws and tubes.

While the tires you carry above fit the hieght we are looking for, when on the front of a 6000+ lb 4wd truck they are like trying to steer with marshmallow's!! Plus, you can't heat them up to utilize thier potential.
A 305/60/18 Drag Radial would be PERFECT in my book!

SAFETY is my main concern at this time. There are many ways to hack a questionable tire on these trucks but i don't feel comfortable setting my wife loose over 100 mph on ANYTHING i've found yet. I guess i should build her a FWD Honda that the tire companies & aftermarket bow down 2. It's just a matter of time before someone gets hurt running these heavy trucks with UNSAFE rubber. Just my 2 cents & sorry for the rant.
