Default Bad tires---front or back

Where should you put your worst tires? I say put them on the front. If

with the tire on the front. If the problem is on the rear the skid will
be a lot harder to control. What do ya`ll think?


I think first of all you shouldn't have tires that bad that you're
concerned...

However, the logic is precisely backwards...it's much easier to control
if you have both front tires than only one--it is, after all, those that
are tied to the steering wheel.

It's also more likely to cause a rollover if a front drops and gouges
thus causing a full-bore cranking of the front wheels one direction or
t'other at speed.

Put the new ones on the front...
