I recall something like this too...in EC a few years back. The car was a 90
based (not urq) Coupe q and the tuner (was it abt?) indeed went with bigger
tire up front-to reduce the inherent understeer of the chassis (torsen???)
design. Seems like a crude way to address the problem-but I guess it worked.
