I had to replace one of my Marathon Supremes with a regular Marathon of the same size. I kept the grippier Supreme on the back. I figured that would help me avoid those smoky burnouts, but more importantly I thought that since it was lighter, I could get it up to speed faster. It made sense in my mind.

Now, I'm thinking that I want the grippier tire in front. It seems like if I lose traction up front, like while turning on a wet road, I'm way more likely to hit the pavement than if I lose traction in the rear. Plus, I've got more weight on the rear tire which should help with traction.

What do you guys think?
