[QUOTE="xstatic, post: 431733, member: 6026"] A potential downside to installing staggered tires is that the handling balance can become spoiled, particularly in a vehicle that does not have a chassis optimized for a staggered wheel and tire setup. Wider rear tires provide more grip than narrower front tires, which can potentially cause understeer, which is where the front tires slide towards the outside of the turn and are in effect being "pushed" by the rear tires, which are sticking better to the pavement.
