Would love to see the Engineering Explained guy do some tests with different sizes and square / staggered.

Most of us are trying to dial *out* the understeer - that’s why we go with square setups and wider fronts.
If you don’t track or autox then favoring understeer with narrow front tires is fine since I hope you’re not exploring the limits of your car on public roads.
