lol...yeah I know. But then why does it have to have equal traction all around??
If it has no weight in the rear it should require more traction. Yeah...steering is important...but its only 50% of the vehicle.

driving the truck ... traction ...
doesn't mean anything if either end looses it.
myself, I can compensate of worn rear tires, if the front tires grip good... maybe the rear will slip to the side a bit, but as long as I can keep the front end travelling the proper direction... ?
but if I can't get the front tires to grip to anything, steering is pointless, which means the truck isn't going to go anywhere other than whichever direction the rear tires decide to grab.

its vise versa. You can't go anywhere if you have no traction in the rear...and you can't really go anywhere except a straight line if you don't have any traction in the front
yeah I said 800lbs...figure you would know what it actually was???

Not bragging, just saying it's possible to go places with no traction in the back lol.
