Front tires Pros and Cons

Maybe I am just unlucky, but on my cars, I have found that the M/T "ET Drag" , Hoosiers, and Goodyear front tires are bad for not holding air all that well, a buddy uses the M/T Sportsman fronts, they hold air very well, but are quite a bit heavier. I have found that the Moroso old style "Drag Specials" hold air very well, and also seem to virtually never wear out the treads, unlike my MT E/T Drags, Hoosiers, and Goodyear "Frontrunners". I have also had good luck with the M&H front tires, but have never used the Moroso DS2 models. Out of all the brands of front tires that I have used over many years, my favorite is the Moroso Drag Specials, but they are only available in 3 diameters, which may not make them ideal for many racers.
