hahaha, you kinda have it backwards. using smaller tire in the rear increases traction. im not gonna tell
you why, jus take some physics course and you'll find out.

Its think its true. Especially is the rear is stiff I believe.

But what do i know.</TD></TR></TABLE>

indeed. I run 205/55R14 fronts and 175/65R14 rears all with stiff *** suspension and 23mm ITR rear bar, talk about scary during rain days. rotated it did...

Re: (eg6ajk)

ok so thinner or wider tires in the rear is better? does sidewall height have anything to do with it by any chance?

Please, tell us why this is true.

And tell the mass of road racers and autox'ers that stagger tire sizes for exactly the opposite reason you've just stated.

This is from personal experience and many a college physics course:

You air up your rear tires so they're hard as rocks and it makes it easier to kick the rear out in corners, why? Because there's less surface area in contact with the road to produce friction.

Therefore, if you put skinnies on the rear with lots of air in them, they'll create less friction and you'll be more ***-happy. Stiffer springrates in the rear will add to this effect.
