I agree to the more grip to the front if I have to choose, but do you have a strong argument for the less grip to the rear?

Tijs in reply to @giofox

Well, slicks was my starting point. So rear grip stays the same (never felt like I needed more), and front grip increases (prevent wheel slide out on the rough stuff).

Don't they do this on MTBs? Fast rolling tyre on the rear, grippy one on the front.

Yep. Both the MTB and gravel bike here have bigger, grippier tyre on the front.

Cool, so I am on the same page, increase the grip at the front, if anything.

Like the Belgians say, it's not about how much grip you can have, it's about how little you can have.
