Hey Ron, another question for you...

You mentioned that in Gaetano's case he might as well have just thrown 275 tires on the back of the car instead of the 315s because he would need to remove the 15.x percent more grip that the 315s added in order to get the car balanced again.

My question is, if you're working with more tire in the back versus the front, can you tune the rear to have more grip in the straights and less under steady state cornering?

When you discussed the pros and cons of high roll/low pitch versus high roll/low pitch, I was curious if you could run one setup on the front and the other on the rear. I feel like there is a reason you haven't mentioned doing this, but if you have the time, it would be cool if you could explain what would happen from running low roll/high pitch in the front and high roll/low pitch in the back.

Thanks for all the time you've spent sharing knowledge with us amateur hour club guys
