im no expert but id imagine having far more grip on the front would cause the back end to step out and that cant be safe when gining it beans round a corner.

....That's right. And even if you factor in better grip (on track) with the 888's, that's only if it's bone dry. A bit of wet would play havoc I reckon.

why would it cause havoc. in the wet with R888s on the front and eagle f1's on the rear, IMO the worst that would happen really is the car would understeer more as the rear would be outgripping the front.
that said matching the tyres is the best plan, but just fronts isnt a lethal combination
