You raise a very good point.
I figure 3400lbs with me in the car. FWD only with 61/39 front to rear weight split. Steering/driving/braking
The fronts are asked to do too much on a FWD platform. IMHO
The GT4 is better balanced and a lot lighter. I can see that a 265 may be too much tire for the GT4. Well I just checked the curb weight. 3200lbs for a 718 GT4. That’s heavier than I expected.
