re: what breaks first the front or rear??

It depends on your tire pressures.

At factory recommended 29F/36R the front's push (understeer)
Somewhere areound 32-34 in the front you begin to get oversteer.

Personally I like a bit of oversteer at the edge of traction - It seems much easy to throttle steer and correct for. With understeer, I tend to push right out of my lane while clueless clutching the steering wheel and pondering a solution.

I suggest learning on a track - sometimes that ocean is a long way down. At $100-150/day Driver's Education track time is a LOT of fun.
