Hang on.

I watched this video a few times.

The only references I see to this being a "FWD" video, is the woman
pointing at the front PS tire and the close up shot of (I assume) the
same tire turned outward.

Did I miss something? --- :^)

They also show a Beemer. (yes I know it is shown driving like a FWD,
but I assume this is a video for the "uneducated".)

I *think*, that Beemers were RWD for longer than most? Like Mercs?

Regardless of where the drive wheels are, does this video mean that
the better tires go on the rear?

IMHO, it's a combination of weight distribution and where the drive
wheel(s) actually are.

Just my .02.... in "hindsight". --- ;^)


Neil.
