ET Streets on back but up front.......

I know you're not suppossed to mix bias ply and radial tires but it seems so many people are doing it. I can get a pair of skinny Khumos for about $70 but they're radials. Is it worth it to save the money or should I just get M/T Sportsman Fronts? Is it really that bad(squirrly) at speed with the radials on front?

The car will see some street use and occasional short parkway use at lower speeds(50mph).

My front tires are radial. Back tires are Hoosier drag slicks.

You're not supposed to mix them on the same axle but front to rear is fine.

That's what I've been hearing but just wanted to double check. I still don't think your really suppossed to mix them at all but for what we use them for I guess it's not so bad. Thanks
