Crossply vs RAdial Car tyres on for front

I am building a scratch built v8 trike and I am interested in using a car tyre on the front. Has anyone used a crossply for their front tyre? Just want some feedback as the tyres I can get, the 15" crossply tyre is 2" taller than the Radial. I know a radial is a better constructed tyre than a cross-ply but does it present any adverse handling characteristics on the front?
Here are links to the tyres I am talking about- Radial [url=http://www.summitracing.com/parts/mtt-6652/overview/]Mickey Thompson Sportsman S/R Tires 6652 - SummitRacing.com[/url]

Not sure effect on a V8 trike , but on a standard trike you do not want the flex of the sidewall you get when a radial is used on the front. The bias ply is stiffer and prevents the hop in turns.

If your running bias ply tires front and rear you should be good to go. If you use radials on the rear and the bias on the front the radials will handle better and get better traction, pushing the bias front tire with the V8 power you want to use

I have just had a major rethink in the design of my front end. Just bought a set of harley alloy mags. 1x 19" and a 16" rear. Thinking of using the rear wheel in the front with a 130/90B16 73H [url=http://www.michelinmotorcycle.com/index.cfm?event=Commander]Michelin Motorcycle Tires[/url] . Max load 805 lbs.
