These videos demonstrate what most drivers would experience and hence why best tires go on the rear. Made that mistake when I was younger and had my backend swing out on a highway when it snowed. Never made that mistake again. | |

I've done a season in stock hatch and have undertaken MSA rally driver training but prefer 10 and 2. I am well aware of what understeer is and I've experienced rapid tyre deflation on the front and rear of a vehicle at various times. I have to say that rear was preferable as it was way easier to get the car back under control. | |
