Tire Rotation

Why? IDK. I wish I knew what the engineers were thinking. It is obviously done on purpose not an oversight. The XP1000 is even more so. By putting the wider wheel on the rear with higher offset, the center of the rear tires are 1” narrower. The outside sidewalls are the same width apart. This may provide better straight line tracking. It may make the transfer force on braking into a turn more diagonal and lessen dive on outside front. Narrow rear may help turning with a locked rear axle. High offset rear wheel may put less stress on the axle. Maybe something about front geometry needs the narrower wheel.
