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.

when you mount your tires rub some baby oil on the insides and they will all hold air just fine, at least it has always worked for me.
