They have the perfect tires for the front. You may want to add the spring suspension too to soften the landing to prevent the front wheels from being damaged because they are pretty skinny. Note: the turning is horrible with these front wheels, but if you are gonna use it for drag, then you will be ok. Here is my drag car with the wheelie bar labmonkey mentioned and the same wheels.

Yes, they are real rubber. The front tires are basically a oring wrapped around the rim. The steering is bad since there is no surface area for the tires to grip. Other than that, the rear tires do grip, but not as good as regular Zip tires.

That Hot Wheels diecast was $7.99 at Target. You basically install them as you would any other wheel mod. Just perform a search. You do have to drill thru the front wheels. You have to be extremely carefull as they are very thin.
