Where should you put your worst tires? I say put them on the front. If
you have a tire problem you can control a skid best if the problem is
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?

Answer: New tires go on the rear of the vehicle - FWD, RWD, 4WD or AWD


Note that all the recommendations mentioned are based on hydroplaning
on wet roads. Blowouts and flats at highway speed are a entirely
different case. So the decision should be based on your expected
conditions. Would drivers in the SW really be concerned with
hydroplaning more than tire heat?
