Front vs rear wheel sizes for best handling

Im not going to turn this into the normal pissing match it usually turns into. I think its better to understand where information comes from.
I dont think anyone here really has any intention of any type of competitive racing in mind, me included, besides the Optima Batteries events. Furthermore, I highly doubt many cars can survive the typical 4 or 5 20min sessions on a track without some type of mechanical malfunction.

That being said, there are many ways to slice this pie, but most decide to go for looks over function. Many of the principles outlined make sense. However, you'd be surprised how good a properly set up C3 Corvette handles despite the hockey puck Radial TAs.....

Fire away, but my goal is to contribute to the forum with real experience not theories.
