Ahhhh yes, the never ending fight of where to put the best tires on the car. Typically finding the limit of understeer on the front tires is more predictable and controllable. If the rear "fish tails" or quickly snaps around (oversteers) on someone, it's not as easily controlled for the majority of people.

Don't take my word for it. But, how about the word of Tirerack?

Op you will be fine. Sounds like your a daily driver. I have all seasons on front and summers on rear. And car does daily duties and dragstrip just fine. Now if you were doing autocross, etc then that is a different story.

A. Tire rack tested FWD cars

B. Tire rack apparently doesn't know how to handle oversteer in a FWD car. You give it more throttle to bring it back not lift. Lifting will instantly cause the spinouts as they proved from the engine braking.

C. I like oversteer

D. It probably is the correct advice to give to the normal consumer though
