Front Tires?
What tires are you guys running up front? ET fronts? Sportsman? I was thinking of running the sportsman radials up front, just for the occasional times I drive her over to the track. I know going cheap is never an option but 151$ for a skinnie? Are their any other options?

I paid $32 each at the local tire shop.

Seriously, you're right. It probably makes for a more stable ride but plenty of people mix them because the effects aren't that much different. Atleast I can't tell much difference.
