What size front tire for draglite 3.5s?

[prodetroit]

I want to run a set of Mickey Thompson fronts but am unsure as to what size tire to order. Anyone on the board give me a clue?

I"ll be running 26x11.5x15 ET Street in the rear on a set of 15x10 /w 6.5bs Draglites.

1988 LX Hatchback

If I'm not mistaken, you can run a 175 or 185 R 15 on them. They're a Volkswagen Beetle (old one) tire.

i use the mt sportsman front on a 15x 5 inch draglite, when i bought the tire it said it would fit 3.5-7 inch rim. i should have bought the 3.5 front, just so you know, your're probably gonna need a wheel spacer to clear a factory style caliper.

I run 165R15's on my 5 inch Draglites, and I have seen a bunch of them on, and am told they work on the 3 in ones too. For some reason they are typically called that, vice 165R70-15's, I think. And yes, they are apparently a stock VW beetle size.

If you want to run the MT Et Fronts you will probably want to go with the 26x4.5-15 part #3007. If the car is going to be driven on the street these tires are probably not the best choice.
