with rain tires, which pair of tires are more important on the stook? the fronts or rears?

 

probably the rears because that seems to slide more often than the front. Also all the power from the engine goes to the rear wheels, so you want the best traction possible.

 

Rear ones are the 'more' important ones as it's the rear tyres that keep the car pointing straight. Also, understeer is much 'safer' and easier to deal with so in the wet you definatelly do not want to sacrifice the rear-end grip.

Also, if you have better front than rear tyre that it will make the back even looser bacause the front will 'hang on' while the back will be losing grip. It's much better the other way around if safty is your primary concern.

 

So does anyone have any experience with the grooved type of rain tires on the stook? (i.e. aquatread etc.)

 

Get some dunolp SP 9000's, they'r the best rain tires..

 

Bridgestone S03 and Michelin Pilot Sports also supposed to be better.
