Not proper setup? Most performance and racing cars have rear tires that are wider and taller. It's always harder to find grip for acceleration than for braking. The rear tires also have to provide the driving force to overcome aero/cornering drag, which reduces grip available for lateral acceleration. The Corvette and Elise even have larger diameter rear wheels.
