Diff tire sizes front to rear, on AWD
Would there be any benefit to having wider tires in the rear than up front on an AWD? This assumes that the overall diameter of the front and rear tires is the exact same, only the rears are wider than the front? I know some of the exotic AWD cars have wider tires out back then up front, jsut wondering if it helps with anything like handling or something.

Now the overall diameter would be the same so that all the wheels spin at the same rate... other than when turning and such.
