Running Different Tires Front and Rear?

Alstann · 08-16-2012, 12:14 PM

I had a thought this morning...

What would be the downside to running a grippier, high performance tire up front in our cars, and a harder, higher treadwear compound tire in the rear? I feel like this would provide even treadwear, and with a wider tire in the rear, make the car more neutral, instead of understeery. Any thoughts on that?
