Steam Roller tires
Corner weights can be used to approximate tire sizes, for example formula cars with extreme rear weight bias generally have much smaller front tires to achieve good balance. Front engined rear drive cars will generally handle better with tires of more equal size. The point being, put steam rollers on both ends. I am going to try 315-30-18 on the front and 345-30-18 on the rear next year in an effort to improve handling. I am using 295-30-18 front and 335-30-18 rears now and balance is perfect. Cobras used much larger rear tires than fronts in the "old Days" but they were not great handling cars either. They just made the most of their light weight with acceleration and large rear tires to apply it.
