Back from Discount Tires, have a ?

Anyways, it only took 3 days to get my MT 275 50 15s street radials for the back and MT sportsmans (8 ply) skinnies for the front. They did a nice job mounting them on my Bogart RT welded wheels.
So I have one question before I go out to the garage to put them on. The fronts say 60lbs. max. What are you guys running for air pressure on the street and when you go to the track? Thanks in advance for any help.

How much did the tires and mounting run you? I will have a pair of 16" wheels that will be in need of a pair of M/Ts here pretty soon.

For me, it was only $10 more to go through Discount than to buy from Jegs and have to pay for mounting and balancing. That was for all 4 tires. For the $10 more that I paid, I recieved road hazard. Worth it to me.
Don't forget, you can have the ET streets on the salad shooters for $275. Or if you know anybody that's interested, let me know.

The Sportsman and the Sportsman Front are bias ply tires. The Drag Radial is (obviously) a radial tire. That can be a deadly handling combination. From the M/T website:
WARNING: Mickey Thompson Sportsman tires are Bias Ply. It is not recommended that radial and non-radial tires be mixed on the same vehicle.

Thanks Fred, for looking out for me. I'll take it fo a spin and see how handles. If it's like a car I drove some 30 years ago I'm in big trouble.
