Radial fronts with bias rear will not track as well as a bias on front.
You can run a bias front well with either bias or radial rears. |

He's getting mixed reviews since he posted it here and we are all largely telling him not to run this combo:
https://www.camaro5.com/forums/showthread.php?t=530958 Rhino is correct. Bias in the rear with radial up front is a bad combo that is just not the proper way to do it. OP needs to get a set of skinnies up front with some frontrunners or just use a radial out back.

My car at 125MPH with bias on the back and stock tires on front damn near swapped lanes at the track. It is dangerous and espicially if you are not prepared and try to correct it.

Why ask a question if you will automatically argue for one side? I have yet to drag my car so I don't know but what I do know is that the smartest people when it comes to our Camaros are the people on here. Just my $00.02

Also everyone wants to say match it with a bias, we'll find me a 7" wide bias 17" tire and I will. I would rather run my radial that can support the weight then a 4" tire that's maxed out before I even get in the car. Sent from my HTC 10 using Tapatalk |

Don't ask the question if you have your mind set...

I ran 10.9@125 1.47 with 215 radials up front on 17x7s and 28x17 hoosier slicks in back. Drove fine.
But I think it depends on combo. If you had 20s up front it might not drive as nice.

It depends on many factors. After years of experience and watching guys with that combo hit the wall. I won't take the chance with any of my cars.

Well today I got my own opinion on the combo. Starting at 26psi in the rear and aired down to 18 throughout the day. Did not have much issues at all. Like the guys said before, grow some balls lol. Only time it got a little bad was when I got loss of the line and when I got it straightened out it started tracking to the left and I tried to correct it about 3/4 down the track and felt some sway so I let out and it was fine.
Thanks for the opinions everyone, I don't think it's as bad as it's lead to believe. Thanks for looking out for my safety though guys. Hope to see some at camarofest. Sent from my HTC 10 using Tapatalk |

I think a radial skinny and bias rear is better than stock front and bias rear.
Stock front is heavy and has more rolling resistance.
