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.
A car CAN be engineered to handle properly with different tires front
and rear, but it takes some pretty extensive engineering and testing to
make it work. Mercedes engineered most of their cars to handle best with
identical tires on all four corners and they tell you that in the
owner's manual.
You HAVE read the owner's manual haven't you?
