Default yet it appears that I've been wrong all these years?
Who the hell told me more rear will reduce understeer?

Default how many links to i have to post :P
lower front tires pressure cause too much side wall deflection when momentum is shifted to the front tires. the contact patch deforms and alters the suspension geometry = understeer.<ul><li><a href="http://www.tirerack.com/a.jsp?a=AR4&url=%2Ftires%2Ftiretech%2Ftechpage.jsp %3Ftechid%3D58">http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tiretech/techpage.jsp?techid=58</a></li></ul>

I think softer tires work better in off-road conditions.
