Have any of you more seasoned fwd drivers every replaced only the front tires with a high performance tire and leave the rears stock? Would it help a fwd car rotate by having more grip up front?

Lol yes I have. The tires were still junk though. I can't remember how it handled. I think it was scary loose.

I've done it before, I think my combination was an R-comp up front and an ok performance tire out back. It was very interesting, lots of rotation... ok too much rotation... fun but not fast. If you go less extreme than an R-comp up front it would probably work out better for balancing. Most likely not ideal, though.
My guess would be a matched set of high performance tires working with air pressure would give the fastest time (with just changing tires). More of the veterans could confirm, but a good performance allignment could also help too.

I could defiantly see this causing mayhem with a rwd car. I guess there's only one way to find out how it would work with my car.
