You're joking, right? It understeers with the stock tires at all 4 corners at the limit, going wider in the rear certainly isn't going to fix that.

This. Just because you can get a car to rotate doing something ham-fisted, doesn't mean it's set up for oversteer. I've done powerslides in LS400s before. Doesn't mean they need to understeer more.

How to PROPERLY select and size TIRES for PERFORMANCE
Quote:
I'm. But I'm pretty sure this is related to thread topic. Stock wise 86 don't have too much power so it's good as is. 😛 But if you add some more power to it lets say 50-100 extra hp, Won't a slight staggered setup be better? *Thread topic is how to select proper tire size for "performance"?* |

A staggered setup would be a bandaid that does not address the underlying problem, as alluded to above by @jawn oversteer on a stock 86 is caused by ham-fistedness, deliberate driver inputs, or road conditions, usually a combination of all three. |

SOme one check my logic here. Formula 1 cars are the fastest race cars in the world. Formula 1 cars have staggered wheel set up. Therefore staggered wheels set up bc racecar.

I've read taht the tire/wheel size is all set by the regulations.
If the F1 designers had their way they would prefer larger fronts to optimize balance and run larger front brakes.

Last time I checked there is a motor sitting back there with those wider tires. Rear and mid engine setup is a whole different ball game.
