Is anyone running 26" front tires and 28" rear on the track and on the street? How does it handle on the street.

Yep I am.  No problems so far, but it's not set up as a corner carver.

 agree

same for mine. 
the 28" nitto DRs out back are phenominal
26" 50 series fronts that really cured a lot of ill's I was having using a taller front tire.

I dont forsee (intentionally) drifting the car so the handling is more than adequate.

26x3 on front, 30x12.5 on rear - my only observation is understeer at any speed. Drives fine in a straight line though...

agree UNDERSTEER TO THE MAX.  TRY THIS I'VE GOT 22.5" UP FRONT AND 27.90" IN BACK, IT RUNS STRAIGHT & AT 80+ MPH IF I TURN THE WHEELS THE CAR WILL KEEP GOING STRAIGHT BUT WHEELS WILL BE SLIDING. IT'LL SCARE THE **** OUT OF PEOPLE NEXT TO ME & THE FRONTS WILL SMOKE UP LIKE MY REARS DO WHEN I HIT THE LINE LOCK LOL LOL lol
