But i think you are far more likely to lose traction if they are on the front - to the point that it actually CAUSES the car to lose grip. You oversteer into a corner with the false sense of stability and then all of the sudden the backend lets go and you slingshot out. Like, there is built up momentum (potential energy) that is unleashed more suddenly (resulting in more total kinetic energy).


Compared to having them on the back. Where you are forced to drive more within the limitations of the grip of the lesser tires (now on the front) and thus have no large amounts of potential energy waiting to be released, meaning that the total kinetic energy of a wipe out is far less.


Something like that?
