When traction is up, it becomes an advantage but can be a liability when its not for sure.
oh, I am not saying it is a fix for everything. My issue was slowing for a 180, the rear would fly all over the place. the lower bite tires up front caused the rear to follow the front better. On the street or really high bite, the rear can stay more planted. I run on an outdoor track that is anywhere from wet to dry during night races. The trick though is to find the right front/rear combination and that could get expensive. Most people just buy a set of 4 matching tires and try to make them work. But that might not always be optimal. If you have a friend that uses different tires or compounds than you, maybe you can try more combinations and fine one that works well.
