So calling all the experienced Tuscan drivers on here. Can I tap into your immense knowledge as to regards tyres & Tuscans . I want to run sticker tyres on the front but tyres on the back that have several heat cycles through them. Is this a complete no no or am I going to be fighting an unmanageable imbalance. I personally don't mind over steer but I find it a real challenge to manage understeer effectively and maintain speed. Nothing unusual in that I would guess, hence why I'm thinking new up front and manage over steer with a strong front end. What do you think ?

LOL never thought about that. What's the thinking on crossing over fronts to back, they did that last race of V8 supercars but I was told that Dunlops are sided and you could only swop from front to back same side because of the direction of the inner construction of dunlops other wise you would compromise grip, running tyre back wards in effect. I must say I never noticed wink
