Re: Prostar 3.5 what tire ?
My 3.5" Pro-Star has "DRAG RACE ONLY" stamped right on the surface of the wheel. They are not designed for the high lateral loads encountered in street driving.
In any case, you need a 26" diameter front tire. 24" is way too small. And it has to have a load capacity that matches or exceeds the stock tire.
If by "Mikeys sportsmans" you mean the M/T Sportsman Front, they make a 26 x 7.5 - 15 that fits on a wheel 3.5" - 6" wide. That is a bias ply tire, and will not work very well with radials in the rear. Might produce some fairly dangerous handling
