    I am looking for advice on what is the best front tire to run on my 15x7 American Racing Torque Thrust D wheels. I am looking for a good radial tire that has an awesome speed rating for the drag strip, but can keep grip when the car goes through a tight corner on the street.

    I run 215x60-15s on my Cragar SS 15x7. They are BFG Radial TAs. I have used them at the drag strip up to 110 mph without a problem and have run them on the Dragons Tail in the Smokies. I am very pleased with them.

    BF Goodrich Radial T/A 225 60 15 may rub on the front valence during turns. Perelli has 15 inch tires with the highest speed rating of V.
