Ive heard of people using them all around for autoxing, so its possible. Would give better traction.

I love my 555Rs for street and strip, they are great for the street and at the track they work great after heating em.

put them in the back, buy some Kumho's for the front and when the rear DR are toast, throw on the second set. it's pointless to have them in the front, they make for a bad road race tire.

I mean any renky dinky tire for the front, it doesn't matter. if you want some good tires for the front get some KDW's
