Your "good to learn" part is perfectly accurate. The observed parallelism between tires and drivetrain, however, deserves a closer look. It may match experience, but should NOT be taken as rule. It only holds true when the the upgrade rank percentages are the same for both handling  (which is also comprised by tires) and acceleration (comes with drivetrain).

True, such is the case of most cars, like the X2. But see the Porsche Carrera GT: tires add 31.0 km/h, drivetrain adds 42.6. Or the McLaren 720S, t: +33.8, d: +37,5. Or, conversely, the Range Rover Evoque, t: +97.9, d: +91.4 (like what you had feared with the X2). Or the M2 SE, Buick Riviera, etc. etc.

So it can't be a rule as there are too many exceptions, and I say this despite my firm belief in a syllogism formulated by Antonio Machado —lo mismo de "caminante, no hay camino/ el camino se hace al andar— every rule has an exception, and hence having an exception validates a rule. Therefore, the perfect rule is the one composed solely of exceptions...
