Are you saying that the rear wheels and front ones are different sizes? The car and it's suspension is designed to have the same size wheels and tyres and the same tyre pressures on all four corners.
I put a Fiat X19 into a wall at a bend back in 1981 three months after buying it second hand. The previous owner had wider tyres on the back than on the front, (which helped give it the appearance of being related to the Lancia Stratos --big in rallying at the time) and I think that might have contributed to the loss of grip at the back end on a wet bend.
