well, im sure you know this but its not really recommended to mix radials and bias ply tires, so since youre running the ET radials then you want a radial up front.... in which case the MT front runners wouldnt really be a good idea anyways..?

i had some MT sportsman's on the front of my camaro and hated them! pushed like a freight train and wore out fast. so i can't imagine on something 1,200+ more lbs. I got some normal street tires in same size 100% better. now if its a tailor queen and track only its ok but not for a lot of street use.

That tire and size looks good. its a 27.1" x 8.07"

Cool upgrade, keep the progress coming.

Why did you not reuse the factory tubs with a cut down extra spare tub on each side? just curious
