Hah you can relate to that aye Greg?

Best trick I find with offloading is to reverse really fast and jump on the brakes, work really well if you don't have a tipper.

will it make the car difficult to drive, etc??
This setup is not ideal in terms of handling balance.
Regardless they are the same pattern.
And on the limit will provoke snap oversteer.

By increasing the front footprint, you now have an even higher threshold at the front than rear.
And as such, while the front of the car now turns in quicker.
More so than before does not mean the back will follow.
Nor will the feedback from front to rear be the same, giving you warning of when they will let go.

Fitting the same size, and pattern tyre, front to rear on an FF Honda.
Gives consistency in handling, and balance front to rear.
That's why the factory fits same size and pattern tyre all round.
