Rear 100% for safety. If i am correct E53's have a 40-60 power ratio and regardless anyway man, if your back end comes around you ain't saving 6000 lbs with counter-steer.

By putting them on the front you are inviting over-steer in the wet if you put the power down a little too quickly around a turn.

I don't know much..but I know this. Good call.

If you're stupid enough to impart that much throttle with the wheel turned on wet pavement...you get what you deserve! Ever heard of steering with your throttle?
Look, it's not like the OP is riding on his belts. 4-5/10's isn't exactly "bald"!

Oh well. I give up. F'ng safety for everything. How about...learn to drive and stop depending on everyone/everything else to keep you safe...including used tires on the front or rear.:thumbup:
Next, we'll need vehicles to park themselves so it can be done safely...oh wait...
Yeah, don't even get me started on Google driven cars:google::gun:
