Ah. I get the picture.
I was walking away from the computer when this thought hit me: If equal
traction in the tires - frnt. vs. rear - is critical, then those with big
fat tires in the rear and skinnier ones in the front must be really putting
themselves at risk.
That's not a terrible situation because it tends to encourage
understeer, which most people find controllable.
When you can get yourself in trouble is when you have worse traction in
back -- for example, two new tires in front and two relatively bald ones
in the back, on a wet road. Then you're likely to get "ambushed" in a
corner.
