You still aren't making any sense. Having a bigger front tire will give much better turn in, and since the front drives the car, the greater front grip helps pull the car through the turns. What you are saying is that understeer is good to get into a turn. If anything, you'd want initial oversteer to get into a turn. Look at the spoon racecar, they are running a much larger front tire, with great results.

And as for the porsche comment, you still have me lost. It would be foolish to think that you would want a larger front tire on a RR car. While the rear would be more predictable, the car would corner significantly slower. Perhaps you're talking about a non-staggered setup, similar to what s2000 drivers do?
