Do you think staggers are faster than minis on a 4wd front?

With 2WD slim minipins stretched over a wide and large enough rim, and enough rows nipped off, it should be OK. I don't know if anyone has ever tested blue front slim minipins? Might be the ticket for racers with griprollophobia.
I haven't driven 4WD much, but I'm not a fan of staggers in 4WD. The diameter is too small, the front wheels don't have enough pull out of the corners. Might as well be driving a 2WD :-D
About 4Wd front minipins on wide rims at rear: I'm not a huge fan. unlike Janus, I approach corners like a real panzy, braking beforehand, etc... I found that with the sidewalls all straight and messed up, sideways compliance is basically gone. I wasn't happy with on-power powering-out-of-turns behaviour either. (along the hedge etc)
But they do give more rotation. Bit abrupt though.
