Wider tires on rear of FWD car
Hey guys,
I'm in this argument with a ricer about wider rear tires on a Scion TC. He claims that handling will be improved by using wider rear tires and he can make it around a autocross track faster with wider tires in the rear.
My arguement is that more grip in the rear will negitivly affect handling.
His argument is that more grip anywhere is faster.
Is he right?
And would someone mind explaining the physics behind this?
I would really appreciate it.
