Hey Ken, what’s that old bit about sticking the bottom half of your body in the fridge and the top half in the oven so that on average you’re at a very comfortable temp? I’m not sure the “average” is what counts, but you are correct about the probable worse case being less than my description suggests, good point. Perhaps a bit more than you suggest though because the tires seem to wear at a faster rate as they get thinner so my first rears are toast when the fronts are down no more than 30%, and the second set gone before the fronts are really finished. Yes a small difference but I can see it, and more importantly I can feel it at high speeds. Another consideration may be that the rear of the car is much heavier than the front. Might this lead to the rear “sagging” slightly more with age? Plus, most of our efforts to lighten the car is up front, removing spare tire, smaller battery, etc. At the rear we bolt on more weight with SCs and turbos (but probably save on exhaust). These factors can also contribute to a nose-up attitude. So as I said, starting with fronts that are already taller by any amount just seems like a bad idea.
