Default Big ones

When racing is it better to have bigger or wider tire in front and smaller ones in the back or just have them all the same size.[sm=gears.gif]

race as in drag race? or some sort of racing that involves handling? handling, same size (generally, but more advanced racers do stagger them, but its easier to have them the same.) drag racing, wider ones are pretty good. really wide slicks are great.

i thought people just put bigger tires on the back of rwd cars to get better traction.

Putting larger tires on a RWD car does improve the traction and also handliling.

If you are very good you can mix and match sizes so they will be easier to get to do what you want them to.
