Front Tyres Question

[Stevie e39 drift]

R888 are definitely my best choice for front, even on the wet. They only struggle under BIG rain, when water keeps on the road. Otherwise, good stuff.

A tip I learned from a Belgian judge on a competition : to make the best of your front tires on DRY condition, install them reverse (on the contrary of the normal rotation). For security reason, tires are made to grip more when braking, so if you mount them reverse, you get slightly more grip

..... is that actually true ?

Any Wanli's on front would be the best

sunnys .... just as cheap , and just as good grip

Yeah i've heard this too

Yeah i've heard this too

Yeah it is, experienced it myself. On some tires you don't really feel a difference but on some other, definitely. Just try

No it isnt, thread patterns are designed to grip when rotating a certain way, i would imagine the reason why that judge imagined he was right is because under braking the front suspension compresses putting weight in the tires and improving their ncontact patch with the road
