What size and brand front runners -tires do you guys recommand? I don't mean street tires here. I have been running a set of 4.5x 28 moroso front runners along with a set of 10.5x 28.5 in the rear. I hope to run between 135 and 140mph and I want the most stable tire.
 
Strictly personal, based on the fact I race mostly on a Sportsman tree: I shallow stage and use 27.5 x 4.5 M/T, and wouldn't go shorter because I want the rollout. 29 x 4.5 M/T would also be an option for me. With a hard-launching car, a taller tire helps against redlighting when leaving off the third yellow without a delay box. For a Pro Tree though, I'd go with a significantly shorter tire. I'm not too concerned about the brand but I like having them match the slicks. This is just how I deal with it, others will surely have other preferences.
