I always thought the front was better but as my front tyres are better than my rear I was wondering if it's worth swapping them over.Cheers.

Just wondering if it's better to have more grip at the front for steering or the rear as that's where the power goes (not that there's much in an IS:Fish I always thought the front was better but as my front tyres are better than my rear I was wondering if it's worth swapping them over.
Cheers.

I prefer a little bit of oversteer to understeer, but think with a RWD car my personal opinion is to have the better tyres on the rear.

Yes, swap your front tyres to the rear if you have more grip right now at the front.

08-10-2017, 03:06 PM #6Tyre manufacturers will always recommend that you have more grip on the rear. It's the same for both FWD and RWD cars, and it's because understeer (when you don't have enough grip at the front) is much more easy to deal with than oversteer (when you lose grip at the rear).
