One reason I can think of is the Azenis are much grippier for traction, so you can launch better...but they wear quicker than Ziex do.

Also maybe having the harder tire in back and stickier in front helps reduce understeer for more neutral handling effect...

The zeix are fuggin rocks, but i don't understand why you would only put azenis on the front either. You would surely have better traction and handling with them on all 4 corners.

If you don't regularly rotate your tires, the fronts will wear out befor the backs. Chances are they just replaced the worn fronts with something different than what was already on the car. Some people don't care much about their tires. And some people like to poop on eachother too.

cause its the cool thing to do....

i actually have never seen or heard of doing this. maybe people want to seem like they have drag tires on the front? why wouldnt you just put the Azenis all the way around, it would handle much better.
