this is something ive been reading up on/thinking about a while! its all about how you want to drive your car. I had bad understeer issues over the weekend in the mx5 when using the handbrake, but this suited as i wanted to just drive by flicking the car in etc.
depending on driving style and purpose of the car (ie practice day car, or fully comp car) ive seen a lot of lads runnign shit tyres on the front on purpose for the sake of being able to attempt backwards entries without being a faglord and just buying the silly lock kits!
I was told at the weekend when talking about it that when Dai was over driving the MG altezza, he was saying it had too much front end grip and wasnt allowing him to throw the car in and actually drift the car, more so do a long burnout on full lock.
This guy here has gone from running good grip tyres up front to running nankangs up front!
All in all, I duno where im going with this. But yeh, grip isnt everything, its how you adapt to it aswell. or something
