If the rear is wider than the front it causes the front to push in turns so they wont steer as nice. you wanna be sure to keep the front the same width or wider if you want sharper crisper turning.

Ans thats no tire size. just overall width. Wide tires in front can be difficulty to steer. tis the rumor anyway.. I havent noticed that. but it can become a major wrestling match going down the trails when your dimensions are outside the norm. sub 48" is prefferd 44-46 is ideal for trails . it will be the least fatiging.

also when you have the big wide tires in back they get more traction on them solid axles so the front end would need to compensate for that. I figured this stuff out dragging a harrow with warriors. if you made the back end narrow (flip the wheels and hubs and make axles narrow. then drag the harrow you can steer all over and never have to let off the throttle wich is important with the tine harrow on hills [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img] when the rear is wider than the front. you cannot turn with the harrow [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]
