Front Skinny 15" options
Any good options for front skinnys that will fit on a 4-5" wide rim and are about stock height or taller, preferably radials? I've run 165/15's (Kumhos) on 15x3.5" but I feel that they're a bit short for our cars. The only other regular radial that I've seen around is a 205/70-15, and I'm not sure that they will work well on a rim that skinny.
I guess there are a bunch of radial front runners out there, but they're $$$ and I'm not sure that they make great street tires (and yes, this is really a dragstrip combination but it will see a lot of street time).

You can get the 185 15s. For like $54 ea . Also micky Thompson makes some cool looking tires with the flame tread design I've got a few different sets you can get them from 24 up to 27 inches tall

I'm running some off brand 195s on the front, because the M/Ts and BFGs are crazy expensive.
