Chevrolet Corvette Stingray C7 Forum - View Single Post - Why did the 6th gen SS 1LE get wider tires at the rear only?

My thinking is, the Alpha chassis with the LT1 engine must tend to oversteer, and adding more rear grip eliminates the oversteer and gives a little understeer which is what a lot of people desire for more predictable handling.

Just my guess.
