Street tires and drag tires are completely different. Having a stiffer tire in the rear will greatly affect the performance of the car, creating oversteer by reaching its traction threshold well before the front would. Theres always other factors in the suspension that have to be considered as well.

Ya were talking about the same thing. The point I am trying to make, the Rim diameter doesn't affect this. The Series of the tire does. you could have a 17" in the front and a 18" in the back one could be a 30 series and one could be a 40 series and they will have the same side wall height so its not going to affect the oversteer.

lol swede your still not getting it. Series is just a percentage of the width. So techinically a 30 series and a 40 series could be identical so strength is going to be identical.
Right?
Right?
