"Its overall that count"...its about the balance/ratio of front and back traction that you have. i can see that you are about half way into the journey of understanding suspension logic.  tyres plays a big role, but so do suspension geometry.I could make your semi slicks feel like crap if i alter your geometry.. i could also make your normal tyres feel almost as good as you semi slick at medium speed corners playing with the geometry and tyre pressure. (of course .. just almost lah)if a car need to slow down too much entering a corner and have to wait before powering out..means you have more rear traction than front on traction. now..home work 1.0 .. what would you do to balance or to correct this??  assuming you can alter shock setting, spring setting, ride height, roll centre, alignments, tyre pressure.. but same tyres?? guys ..i am no belittling (if there is such a word) anyone.. but i truly believe, if i can share with you this knowledge, it will make all our lives as car enthusiast more meaningful.
