Hi Dick!   :-)

Make dam sure they ain't "dry cracked" Dick.  I've owned 2 sets of them,..  
1 set were never mounted and brand new, and even they were badly dry cracked 
from "hanging around" (in cool dry environments)...

therefore, I wouldn't be inclined to use the Moroso's myself.  Goodyears 
Yeah,  MTs  ???   Maybe somebody else has experience with them...

As near as I can tell, some guys use Goodyear Front Runners at the lakes and 
Bonneville; some apparently both on front and rear.  (I'm running them on 
the front of my Camaro, but it has only been run on the hard concrete at 
Maxton.)

I know we've talked a lot about these tires in the past and the problems of 
using them on the rear at Maxton and such, but what about other brands of 
drag racing front tires for Bonneville and lakes?  For instance,  does 
anybody run M/T ET Fronts, Moroso Front Drags, or Hoosier Drag Fronts.  Does 
anybody use any of those tires on the front, and the rear of their 
Bonneville cars?  I've got an almost new set of Morosos hanging up in the 
shop.  Can they be used on the rear at Bonneville?
